Famous quotes containing the words boston and/or university:

    Now I am just an elderly lady who is full of spleen,
    who humps around greater Boston in a God-awful hat,
    who never lived and yet outlived her time,
    hating men and dogs and Democrats.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
    Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
