My quote is easy to attribute: from Zork in "The Fifth Element".

This one?
"If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself"

Walt Disney said that himself in a media stunt where I think he's
turning a big nut using a big wrench on a Disneyland monorail tower in
Anaheim. It's on film from the 1950s and commonly reshown. I doubt that
he was first. Of course if you want the computer version, you can cite Alan
Kay's if you want the best way to predict the future, you have to invent
it yourself (paraphrased for this context).

(older than dust)

"Older than dirt" was Charlie Sorsby's sig when he was at Los Alamos.
I think he's retired now.


My first run of "Rock of Ages" retired hackers tee shirts were the
quoted signature lines from people on the net. Geoff Goodfellows'
was "From the tty..." there was "Aging Hippy Astronomer" I did 2
variants where the last and most popular was "Resident Cynic" which was
my signature at that time, and now I just printed up what I hope will be
the last run period (I keep telling myself that). Different color,
different type of tee shirt (pockets) and front.
