Whatever its charms, the online world is a world of clutter. It’s designed to be a world of clutter - of distractions and interruptions, of attention doled out by the thimbleful, of little loosely connected bits whirling in and out of consciousness. (Nick Carr)- “The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men.” (Rod Serling)- “Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?” (T.S. Eliot in “Choruses from the Rock)- “If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.” (Tancredi in Giuseppe di Lampedusa’s “The Leopard)- “As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” (The Zen of Donald Rumsfeld)- “Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of humility), and manifests it to all the world. He is free from self-display, and therefore he shines; from self-assertion, and therefore he is distinguished; from self-boasting, and therefore his merit is acknowledged; from self-complacency, and therefore he acquires superiority. It is because he is thus free from striving that therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him.” (Lao Tzu)- “Scientia non habet inimicum nisi ignorantem.” Knowledge (science) has no enemy but the ignorant.- “Although there may be nothing new under the sun, what is old is new to us and so rich and astonishing that we never tire of it. If we do tire of it, if we lose our curiosity, we have lost something of infinite value, because to a high degree it is curiosity that gives meaning and savour to life.” – Robertson Davies
