Claude Shannon

The problem with common sense is that it's not very common.

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

I visualize a time when we will be able to input all the information in the world into a computer, and it will be able to answer any question you ask it.

Information is not something that exists in the world, but something that we create through our interaction with the world.

The capacity of a communication channel is the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted over it with arbitrarily small error.

The more choices there are, the more information there is.

Noise is anything that interferes with the transmission of information.

Redundancy is the part of the message that can be removed without losing any information.

The true meaning of a message is not in the words themselves, but in the context in which they are used.

The human mind is a complex information processing system.

We are constantly trying to make sense of the world around us by processing information.

The beauty of mathematics lies in its ability to describe the world in a precise and elegant way.

Truth is a matter of consistency and coherence.

Life is a continuous process of information exchange.

Death is the ultimate loss of information.

The search for meaning is a fundamental human endeavor.

Our understanding of the world is always incomplete.

The universe is a vast information system.
