Famous quotes containing the words input, output, base and/or address:

    Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    Lizzie Borden took an axe
    And gave her mother forty whacks;
    When she saw what she had done,
    She gave her father forty-one.
    —Anonymous. Late 19th century ballad.

    The quatrain refers to the famous case of Lizzie Borden, tried for the murder of her father and stepmother on Aug. 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Though she was found innocent, there were many who contested the verdict, occasioning a prodigious output of articles and books, including, most recently, Frank Spiering’s Lizzie (1985)

    Your top has sunk too low,
    Your base has spread too wide,
    For you to roll one stone
    Down if you tried.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
