Intelligent Machines

Famous quotes containing the words intelligent and/or machines:

    Shakespeare carries us to such a lofty strain of intelligent activity, as to suggest a wealth which beggars his own; and we then feel that the splendid works which he has created, and which in other hours we extol as a sort of self-existent poetry, take no stronger hold of real nature than the shadow of a passing traveller on the rock. The inspiration which uttered itself in Hamlet and Lear could utter things as good from day to day, for ever.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There are bills to be paid, machines to keep in repair,
    Irregular verbs to learn, the Time Being to redeem
    From insignificance.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
