Electronic Vote Totals

Famous quotes containing the words electronic, vote and/or totals:

    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)

    The customer is the immediate jewel of our souls. Him we flatter, him we feast, compliment, vote for, and will not contradict.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
    Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
