Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or act:
“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“For, truly speaking, whoever provokes me to a good act or thought has given me a pledge of his fidelity to virtue,he has come under the bonds to adhere to that cause to which we are jointly attached.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
