American Television

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or television:

“Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.”
—Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)

“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)
