Television Sets

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or sets:

    It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.
    —W.R. (William Ralph)
