Famous quotes containing the words historical data, historical and/or data:
“Yet the companions of the Muses
will keep their collective nose in my books
And weary with historical data, they will turn to my dance tune.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
“The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjectsmaking it possible ... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
