Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“I shall not sing a May song.
A May song should be gay.
I’ll wait until November
And sing a song of gray.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
