Famous quotes containing the words data and/or sets:
“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)
“In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beautyhe forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the worldalas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
