Famous quotes containing the words computer, science, artificial and/or intelligence:

    You must recollect however that I know nothing of painting & that I detest it, unless it reminds me of something I have seen or think it possible to see.... Depend upon it of all the arts it is the most artificial & unnatural—& that by which the nonsense of mankind is the most imposed upon.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    But it is impossible that the creative power should exclude itself. Into every intelligence there is a door which is never closed, through which the creator passes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
