Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday . Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
Famous quotes containing the words partial, text, stevens and/or comments:
“The one-eyed man will be King in the country of the blind only if he arrives there in full possession of his partial faculties—that is, providing he is perfectly aware of the precise nature of sight and does not confuse it with second sight ... nor with madness.” —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.” —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“This will make widows wince. But fictive things Wink as they will. Wink most when widows wince.” —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.” —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
