If Bush as I believe has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction I cannot not support the policies of his government.

The control of information is something the elite always does particularly in a despotic form of government. Information knowledge is power. If you can control information you can control people.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both.

History in general only informs us of what bad government is.

Whenever the people are well-informed they can be trusted with their own government.

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes it was 29 years.

My idea of good company is the company of clever well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation that is what I call good company.

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant superficial and uninformed.

It is not known precisely where angels dwell whether in the air the void or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode.

Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art from writing to gardening to sculpture is creativity. I beg to differ.
