It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter. (Nathaniel S Borenstein)
应当知道，任何一位受过职业道德训练的软件工程师都不会同意写一个“摧毁巴格达  DestroyBaghdad”这样的函数。相反，基本的职业道德要求他写一个“摧毁城市 DestroyCity”的函数，“巴格达 Baghdad”是一个参数。(Nathaniel S Borenstein)

The object-oriented model makes it easy to build up programs by accretion. What this often means, in practice, is that it provides a structured way to write spaghetti code. (Paul Graham)
面向对象的模型使得我们可以用聚少成多的方法来写程序。这通常是说，它提供了一种用结构化的方法写出烂面条般程序的方法。

Reusing pieces of code is liked picking off sentences from other people's stories and trying to make a magazine article. (Bob Frankston)
