Famous quotes containing the words american and/or television:

    No man is good enough to govern another man, without that other’s consent. I say this is the leading principle—the sheet anchor of American republicanism.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.
    Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
