Famous quotes containing the words passive, matrix and/or addressed:
“The best emotions to write out of are anger and fear or dread.... The least energizing emotion to write out of is admiration. It is very difficult to write out of because the basic feeling that goes with admiration is a passive contemplative mood.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The matrix is God?
In a manner of speaking, although it would be more accurate ... to say that the matrix has a God, since this beings omniscience and omnipotence are assumed to be limited to the matrix.
If it has limits, it isnt omnipotent.
Exactly.... Cyberspace exists, insofar as it can be said to exist, by virtue of human agency.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“Poor old Jonathan Bing
Went home and addressed a short note to the King:
If you please will excuse me
I wont come to tea;
For homes the best place for
All people like me!”
—Beatrice Curtis Brown (19011974)
