Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or science:

    “What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
    —Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)

    “If you have science and art,
    You also have religion;
    But if you don’t have them,
    You better have religion.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
