Information Scent

Famous quotes containing the words information and/or scent:

    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)

    Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys,
    Unfriendly to society’s chief joys.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
