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.

Informed by our sad experience of history we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy.

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.

I told my father to stop smoking around the age of two or three years old and he stopped smoking. So the relationship between the kid and the parent is very powerful and if you give the kid the right information it can be very useful to the family.

Until we have a better relationship between private performance and the public truth as was demonstrated with Watergate we as the public are absolutely right to remain suspicious contemptuous even of the secrecy and the misinformation which is the digest of our news.
