Quote Modules
Two modules for quotes: the Quote module for a single, prominent quote with image or video, and the Quote List for quote collections as grid or carousel — optionally with avatar or portrait image.
“Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.”
“The most dangerous phrase in the language is: We have always done it this way.”
“Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.”
Quote List Grid
The Quote List in Display Type "Grid" shows quotes in an even grid. The "Avatar" variant shows a small round profile image next to the name.
Cory House
Software Architect
“Code is like humor. When you have to explain it, it is bad.”
Kent Beck
Creator of Extreme Programming
“Make it work, make it right, make it fast.”
Thomas Fuchs
Software Developer
“The best error message is the one that never shows up.”
Harold Abelson
Professor, MIT
“Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.”
John Johnson
Software Engineer
“First, solve the problem. Then, write the code.”
Edsger W. Dijkstra
Computer Scientist, Turing Award Winner
“Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.”
Quote List Grid — Image Variant
The Quote List in Display Type "Grid" with the "Image (Portrait)" variant shows a larger image in 4:3 format above the quote. If no image is uploaded, the image area is omitted.
Ralph Johnson
Computer Scientist, Gang of Four
“Before software can be reusable it first has to be usable.”
Austin Freeman
Author
“Simplicity is the soul of efficiency.”
Robert C. Martin
Author of Clean Code
“It is not enough for code to work.”
Donald Knuth
Computer Scientist, Stanford University
“Premature optimization is the root of all evil.”
Alan Kay
Computer Scientist, Turing Award Winner
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Author, Aviator
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
Quote List Carousel — Avatar Variant
The Quote List in Display Type "Carousel" with the "Avatar" variant shows quotes as a swipeable slider with a small round profile image. Without an image, initials are shown.
Rich Hickey
Creator of Clojure
“Programming is not about typing, it is about thinking.”
Bill Gates
Co-founder, Microsoft
“Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.”
Bill Gates
Co-founder, Microsoft
“The computer was born to solve problems that did not exist before.”
Edward V. Berard
Software Engineer
“Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.”
Quote List Carousel
The Quote List in Display Type "Carousel" shows quotes as a swipeable slider. The "Image (Portrait)" variant shows a larger portrait-format image next to the quote.
Grady Booch
Software Engineer, IBM Fellow
“The function of good software is to make the complex appear to be simple.”
Bill Gates
Co-founder, Microsoft
“Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.”
Alan Kay
Computer Scientist, Turing Award Winner
“The most disastrous thing that you can ever learn is your first programming language.”
Linus Torvalds
Creator of Linux
“Talk is cheap. Show me the code.”
Quotes in Rich Text
Quotes can also be embedded directly in the Rich Text module via <blockquote> — for inline quotes without a dedicated module.
The simplest solution is often the best. A blockquote in rich text is perfectly sufficient when no image or name is needed.
