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 galaxys 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 planets 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)
