Famous quotes containing the words computer, entry and/or symbol:
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive.

—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol—cross or crescent or whatever—that symbol is man’s reminder of his duty inside the human race.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
