Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or information:

    “The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.... English trains you to handle a body of information in a way that is conducive to action.”
    —Marilyn Butler (b. 1937)
