Signal Noise

Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or noise:

“Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“Sweet bird, that shunn’st the noise of folly,
Most musical, most melancholy!”
