Signal Noise

Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or noise:

“Perhaps having built a barricade when you’re sixteen provides you with a sort of safety rail. If you’ve once taken part in building one, even inadvertently, doesn’t its usually latent image reappear like a warning signal whenever you’re tempted to join the police, or support any manifestation of Law and Order?”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)

“Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends,
Unless some dull and favorable hand
Will whisper music to my weary spirit.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
