Longer Barrels

Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or barrels:

    “To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.”
    —Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)
