Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.

I've always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting more exotic more wild and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach where information is the highest goal.

We're as clever as we think we are but we'll be a lot cleverer when we learn to use not just one brain but to pool huge numbers of brains. We're at a level technologically where we can share information and think collectively about our problems. We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors.

That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information and indigestible glut of information and less and less understanding.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder or at least my biggest blunder in science.

I think that the Information Age is great but there's a downside to it obviously as well and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it.

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.

The liberties and freedoms which we hold dear and we recognize and cherish and respect guide the way we gather information in the United States.

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people with respect to our political interests than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

In the beginning New York and I had kind of a love-hate relationship. It seemed so abrasive compared to Europe. But the transformation here in recent years is really something. I don't think I would have seen as much change if I'd lived in any other city in the world.
