False Information

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or information:

    What makes all doctrines plain and clear?
    About two hundred pounds a year.
    And that which was proved true before
    Prove false again? Two hundred more.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
