Famous quotes containing the word dial:

    The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    The bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Although I will inherit darkness
    I will keep dialing left to right.
    I will struggle like a surgeon.
    I will call quickly for the glare of the moon.
    I will even dial milk.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
