Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or information:

    “Don’t you think I’ve had enough excitement for one evening, without the additional thrill of a strange man making love to me?”
    —John L. Balderston (1899–1954)

    “So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
