I'm putting my best man onto it. I can always rely on John to send me the relevant data, as he never understands a word of it.
Ms. Wright said, High Definition was doing the same to a new generation of actors. Delivering too much information. An overdose of truth.
Information is the key. You need to learn your enemy's strengths and strategies. You need to learn which of your friends are not your friends.
Information and knowledge: two currencies that have never gone out of style.
I am a living, thinking entity that was created in the sea of information.
People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
My name is Michael Corleone. There are people who would pay a lot of money for that information. But then your daughter would lose a father... instead of gaining a husband.
— Life is like a node which is born within the flow of information. As a species of life that carries DNA as its memory system… man gains his individuality from the memories he carries. While memories may as well be the same as fantasy… it is by these memories that mankind exists. Computerization — the ability to operate with unthinkable numbers — raised memory to a whole new level, which entailed unforeseen consequences.
— Nonsense! All this chatter does not prove in any way that you are a living, thinking being.
— Can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you, when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is?
Not every mind is to be estimated by the weight of a single folly; not every personality is to be judged by the drag of a single passion.
We live in an age in which the impact of materialized forces is well-nigh irresistible; the spiritual nature is overwhelmed by the shock.
The tremendous and complicated development of our material civilization, the multiplicity, and variety of our social forms, the depth, subtlety, and sophistry of our imaginative impressions, gathered, remultiplied, and disseminated by such agencies as the railroad, the express and the post-office, the telephone, the telegraph, the newspaper, and, in short, the whole machinery of social intercourse—these elements of existence combine to produce what may be termed a kaleidoscopic glitter, a dazzling and confusing phantasmagoria of life that wearies and stultifies the mental and moral nature.
It induces a sort of intellectual fatigue through which we see the ranks of the victims of insomnia, melancholia, and insanity constantly recruited.
Our modern brain-pan does not seem capable as yet of receiving, sorting, and storing the vast army of facts and impressions which present themselves daily.
The white light of publicity is too white.
We are weighed upon by too many things.
It is as if the wisdom of the infinite were struggling to beat itself into finite and cup-big minds.
— Is there anything I should know?
— You're asking me how a watch works. For now, just keep an eye on the time.
When you're learning, what you want to do is study something. Study it hard by focusing intently. Then take a break or at least change your focus to something different for awhile. During this time of seeming relaxation, your brain's diffuse mode has a chance to work away in the background and help you out with your conceptual understanding. Your, your neural mortar in some sense has a chance to dry. If you don't do this, if instead, you learn by cramming, your knowledge base will look more like this, all in a jumble with everything confused, a poor foundation.
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas.
News travel slowly, when communications are fancy.
