Famous quotes containing the word television:

    “... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)

    “Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
