Norbert Wiener

« All quotes from this author
 

His office was a few doors down the hall from mine. He often visited my office to talk to me. When my office was moved after a few years, he came in to introduce himself. He didn't realize I was the same person he had frequently visited; I was in a new office so he thought I was someone else.
--
Phyllis L. Block, graduate administrator at the MIT Department of Mathematics

The duties of the office of private citizen cannot under a republican form of government be neglected without serious injury to the public.

I took an oath of office to the Constitution, I didn't take an oath of office to my party or my president.

It is necessary to restore the dignity of the presidential office and cut it off decisively from non-transparent connections... For the first time in many years, I see a chance in Poland for major change. The presidential office can guarantee that these changes are carried out without undermining the social equilibrium.
