I'm sure the man would be prepared to give you a slightly punchier quote.
On the other hand, quotes that people have made unprompted somehow feel more
honest.

The best I can find for Sutter is "Use the Boost, Luke", which is perhaps a
bit nerdish for selling to managers.

I can't find a thing for Andrew Koenig - google finds LOTS of things for
"boost koenig", but they nearly all refer to Koenig lookup, and the rest
seem to refer to "Accelerated C++".  (I'm sure he /has/ said something
complimentary, I just can't find it).
