‘I think there is a world market for maybe five computers’. – Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, 1943
‘[Television] won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night’. – Darryl F. Zanuck, Head of 20th Century-Fox, in 1946
‘We don’t like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out’. – Decca Records, rejecting The Beatles, in 1962
‘640K should be enough for anybody’. – Bill Gates, 1981
‘Some of the pharisees said, “Obviously, this man can’t be from God. He doesn’t keep the Sabbath”‘. – St John’s Gospel
