Famous quotes containing the words general and/or information:

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.
    —C.G. (Carl Gustav)

    I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
