Famous quotes containing the words gems and/or television:

    Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
    And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    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)
