Valued Wiener Process

Famous quotes containing the words valued, wiener and/or process:

    Even the hatred
    in a man
    who’s valued for his learning
    is desirable,
    but I’m shamed
    by even love
    in a person
    who’s reviled by others.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    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)

    A man had better starve at once than lose his innocence in the process of getting his bread.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
