Famous quotes containing the words data and/or cable:

    This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
    Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
