Posted by Brian W,
I didn't think you originated the quote, but did you mention it during one
of your presentations? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

I love the quote. I believe it comes from one of the co-creators of
Haskell, Simon Peyton Jones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Simon_Peyton_Jones).
Here's a short video of him with the quote around 3:15:

I don't know if he was the first, but I heard it from Simon Peyton
Jones first:

That certainly didn't originate with me. Probably from the Haskell folks.

I thought that first place I heard it was Rich mentioning it in one of the
videos on http://clojure.blip.tv, but I can't find it.

Closest I can get is this quote from a blog (http://
voelterblog.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html) but I remember it
being written nicer somewhere else as well.
However, using purely functional programming is also not very useful,
since, if we allow no side effects, our program will do nothin

I'm trying to recall where I heard a quote that goes something like this.
"If none of your functions have side effects then all you're doing is
heating up the processor."
Of course you should avoid side effects in most of your functions, but
at least one of them needs to have a side effect for m
