Information Quotes - page 8
The conjuror or con man is a very good provider of information. He supplies lots of data, by inference or direct statement, but it's false data. Scientists aren't used to that scenario. An electron or a galaxy is not capricious, nor deceptive; but a human can be either or both.
James Randi
The cookbook gives a detailed description of ingredients and procedures but no proofs for its prescriptions or reasons for its recipes; the proof of the pudding is in the eating. ... Mathematics cannot be tested in exactly the same manner as a pudding; if all sorts of reasoning are debarred, a course of calculus may easily become an incoherent inventory of indigestible information.
George PĆ³lya
No, really, Ronnie, it's good to share information when you know someone else is dating the lunarly challenged.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.
Ray Kurzweil
The purposeful destruction of information is the essence of intelligent work.
Ray Kurzweil
Neither noise nor information is predictable.
Ray Kurzweil
Structure is more important than content in the transmission of information.
Abbie Hoffman
It is proposed that a form of free dialogue may well be one of the most effective ways of investigating the crisis which faces society, and indeed the whole of human nature and consciousness today. Moreover, it may turn out that such a form of free exchange of ideas and information is of fundamental relevance for transforming culture and freeing it of destructive misinformation, so that creativity can be liberated.
David Bohm
Doing what is right in the face of adversity is not always easy or popular. Critics may assail you, but the critics don't always realize what they don't know or don't understand, because they don't have access to all the information.
John Ashcroft
[...]a person stops searching for information and knowledge of one's self, ignorance sets in.
Robert Kiyosaki
Knowledge is theory. We should be thankful if action of management is based on theory. Knowledge has temporal spread. Information is not knowledge. The world is drowning in information but is slow in acquisition of knowledge. There is no substitute for knowledge.
W. Edwards Deming
Developments in information technology and globalised media mean that the most powerful military in the history of the world can lose a war, not on the battlefield of dust and blood, but on the battlefield of world opinion.
Timothy Garton Ash
Empires are synonymous with centralized-if occasionally schismatized-hierarchical power structures in which influence is restricted to an economically privileged class retaining its advantages through-usually-a judicious use of oppression and skilled manipulation of both the society's information dissemination systems and its lesser-as a rule nominally independent-power systems. In short, it's all about dominance.
Iain Banks
Because of Watergate in part, I am kind of a magnet for calls and information and suggestions.
Bob Woodward
I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.
Bob Woodward
I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.
Bob Woodward
I think that everyone is kind of confused about the information they get from the media and rightly so. I'm confused about the information I get from the media.
Bob Woodward
Perhaps there is no such thing as unilateral power. After all, the man "in power" depends on receiving information all the time from outside. He responds to that information just as much as he "causes" things to happen...it is an interaction, and not a lineal situation.
Gregory Bateson
The great moral question of the twenty-first century is this: if all knowledge, all culture, all art, all useful information can be costlessly given to everyone at the same price that it is given to anyone; if everyone can have everything, anywhere, all the time, why is it ever moral to exclude anyone?
Eben Moglen
Doug's Law: "You can have information or you can have a life, but you can't have both."
Douglas Coupland
The human brain has left and right brain symmetry with its own nature and can process information which initially appears to have no pattern or order. However, the brain has the ability to process visual information much more efficiently.
Tony Buzan
Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief.
Leo Burnett
