Il criterio era rigoroso, e credo sia lo stesso
seguito dai servizi segreti:
non ci sono informazioni migliori delle
altre,
il potere sta nello schedarle tutte, e poi
cercare le connessioni.
Le connessioni ci sono sempre, basta volerle trovare
.
Umberto Eco
Il pendolo di Foucault
Milano 1988
Das
Kriterium war streng, und ich glaube, es ist dasselbe, das auch die
Geheimdienste anwenden:
Keine Information ist weniger wert als die andere,
das Geheimnis besteht darin, sie alle zu sammeln und dann
Zusammenh�nge
zwischen ihnen zu suchen.
Zusammenh�nge gibt es immer, man mu� sie nur finden wollen.
Umberto Eco
Das
Foucaultsche Pendel
deutsche
�bersetzung von Burkhart Kroeber, M�nchen 1989
I had a strict rule, which I think secret
services follow, too:
No piece of information is superior to any other.
Power lies in the having them all on
file and then finding the connections.
There are always connections; you have only to want to find them.
Umberto Eco
Foucault�s Pendulum
English translation by William Weaver, New York 1989
Or does this meet the content?
So Geographers in Afric-Maps
With Savage-Pictures fill their Gaps;
And o'er unhabitable Downs
Place Elephants for want of Towns.
Jonathan Swift
On Poetry: A Rapsody.
Re-printed in London, 1733.
