Soft Bases

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or bases:

    Bow, stubborn knees, and heart, with strings of steel,
    Be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
