Famous quotes containing the words data and/or type:
“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)
“To be a real philosopher all that is necessary is to hate some one else’s type of thinking.”
—William James (1842–1910)
