I recently came across an improvement to a Frank Zappa quote that Butler Lampson included in slide from a 2014 presentation titled "Hints and Principles for Computer System Design".[1]
"[Data is not information, ] Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music and Music is THE BEST” --Frank Zappa
I find it interesting that some of the greater computer architects decide to spend their later years immersed more in music than in programming (L Peter Deutsch comes to mind here).
