Results from Classic Quotes:

I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.: Bill Watterson (1958 - ), "Calvin", It's a Magical World
Almost everybody today believes that nothing in economic history has ever moved as fast as, or had a greater impact than, the Information Revolution. But the Industrial Revolution moved at least as fast in the same time span, and had probably an equal impact if not a greater one.: Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005)
Projections are bullshit. They're just guesses. Wait until the real thing happens and then when it happens, then you can make the decision. Make decisions when you have a lot of information to make the decision. Not when you have to guess about what the decision is going to be or use data that doesn't exist yet.: Jason Fried, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006

Milholland, Something Positive, 10-31-2006

The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.: Edward R. Murrow (1908 - 1965)
What mattered was not what happens to you, but how you handle it. Self-command is required to overcome the dangerous misinformation of our emotions, and because for the most part the self is the only thing that we can command. We have no control, ultimately, over what people do or think. What we can influence is our understanding of these circumstances and how we respond to them.: Daniel Akst, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess, 2011

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.: Herbert Simon, economist
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?: T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965), The Rock
