Talk:Coffee

Moved unnotable quotation here. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion." - The Programmer's Mantra (parodied from the Mentat Mantra in David Lynch's Dune (film).)

More precisely Mentat Mantra as sourced from Frank Herbert's (1965) novel 'DUNE'

Actually, that mantra is attributed to David Lynch, the film's director, and never appears in the text of the original work.(Steamboat28 (talk) 19:31, 2 February 2016 (UTC))

NB: The above was originated by Mark Stein on Sunday morning at the Arisia science fiction conference in Boston, ca. 1993. And it's shakes, not shaking, to more closely parallel the original Mentat Mantra.
