Who said “When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable,…”?

“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information.”

“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.”

“Among all the world's races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong.”

“Information is the currency of democracy.”

“Information is a negotiator's greatest weapon.”

“If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.”

“My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.”

“The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.”

“We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.”

“The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”

“In so far as one denies what is, one is possessed by what is not, the compulsions, the fantasies, the terrors that flock to fill the void.”
