Text Quotes
To live effectively is to live with adequate information (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
The science of control and communication in the animal and the machine (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
One of the chief duties of the mathematician in acting as an advisor ... is to discourage ... from expecting too much from mathematics. (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
I am terribly depressed. How are things going? (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
We are in the position of the man who has only two ambitions in life. One is to invent the universal solvent which will dissolve any solid substance, and the second is to invent the universal container which will hold any liquid. Whatever this inventor does, he will be frustrated (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
I have said that the modern man, and especially the modern American, however much ‘know-how’ he may have, has very little ‘know-what’ (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Our tissues change as we live: the food we eat and the air we breathe become flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, and the momentary elements of our flesh and bone pass out of our body every day with our excreta. We are but whirlpools in a river of ever-flowing water. We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Mathematics is a field which has often been compared with chess, but differs from the latter in that it is only one’s best moments that count and not one’s worst. (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
The best material model of a cat is another, or preferably the same, cat (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
There are no answers, only cross references (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Any labor which competes with slave labor must accept the economic conditions of slave labor (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Progress imposes not only new possibilities for the future but new restrictions (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Mathematics is a field in which one’s blunders tend to show very clearly and can be corrected or erased with a stroke of the pencil (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
In a very real sense, we are shipwrecked passengers on a doomed planet. Yet, even in a shipwreck, human decencies and human values do not necessarily vanish, and we must make the most of them. We shall go down, but let it be in a manner to which we may look forward as worthy of our dignity (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
A significant idea of organization cannot be obtained in a world in which everything is necessary and nothing is contingent (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
The automatic machine, whatever we thinkof any feelings it may or may not have, is the precise economic equivalent of the slave (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
The simple faith in progress is not a conviction belonging to strength, but one belonging to acquiescence and hence to weakness (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
One of the chief duties of the mathematician in acting as an advisor... is to discourage... from expecting too much from mathematics (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
We have modified our environment so radically that we must now modify ourselves to exist in this new environment (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Any use of a human being in which less is demanded of him and less is attributed to him than his full status is a degradation and a waste (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Science is a way of life which can only flourish when men are free to have faith (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Just as entropy is a measure of disorganization, the information carried by a set of messages is a measure of organization. In fact, it is possible to interpret the information carried by a message as essentially the negative of its entropy, and the negative logarithm of its probability. That is, the more probable the message, the less information it gives. Cliches, for example, are less illuminating than great poems (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
It is easy to make a simple machine which will run toward the light or run away from it, and if such machines also contain lights of their own, a number of them together will show complicated forms of social behavior (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Let us remember that the automatic machine is the precise economic equivalent of slave labor. Any labor which competes with slave labor must accept the economic consequences of slave labor (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
The world of the future will be an even more demanding struggle against the limitations of our intelligence, not a comfortable hammock in which we can lie down to be waited upon by our robot slaves (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
If the human being is condemned and restricted to perform the same functions over and over again, he will not even be a good ant, not to mention a good human being (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
In all important respects, the man who has nothing but his physical power to sell has nothing to sell which it is worth anyone’s money to buy (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
Scientific discovery consists in the interpretation for our own convenience of a system of existence which has been made with no eye to our convenience at all (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
The nervous system and the automatic machine are fundamentally alike in that they are devices, which make decisions on the basis of decisions they made in the past (Norbert Wiener Quotes)
