Famous quotes containing the word television:

    So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
