Quotes |
The
remarkable thing about television is that it permits several
million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel
lonely.
~T S Eliot |
TV
is the single most significant factor contributing to violence
in America.
~Ted Turner |
Television
could perform a great service in mass education, but there's
no indication its sponsors have anything like this on
their minds.
~Tallulah Bankhead
|
Television
hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens
anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to
be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose
whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well
turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically
everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.
~E B White
