Permanent Information

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or information:

“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much.

I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“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.”
