Famous quotes containing the words television and/or appearances:

    “So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
