Storing your data in a relational database is like parking your car by driving it into the garage, disassembling it, and putting each piece into a labeled cabinet.

Reminds me of a line by Greg Morrisett:

Writing code for X Windows is like building skyscrapers with Legos.

That used to be in Jeff Vinocur’s quotefile, which seems to have disappeared from the Internet.
