Biography of alan mathison turing quotes

Alan Turing may have made this up as a spoof of Arthur Eddington, or he might be quoting Eddington:

'Hyperboloids of wondrous light
Rolling for age through Space and Time
Harbour there Waves which somehow Might
Play out God’s holy pantomime'

Alan Turing (AMT/D/4 image 16)

'The [imitation] game may perhaps be criticised on the ground that the odds are weighted too heavily against the machine.

If the man were to try and pretend to be the machine he would clearly make a very poor showing. He would be given away at once by slowness and inaccuracy in arithmetic.'

Alan Turing (AMT/B/19 image 3)

‘The original question, ‘Can machines think’ I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion.

Nevertheless I believe that at the end of the [20th] century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.’
