Famous quotes containing the words information and/or system:

    Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    While the system of holding people in hostage is as old as the oldest war, a fresher note is introduced when a tyrannic state is at war with its own subjects and may hold any citizen in hostage with no law to restrain it.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
