Notable quotes

“Television dreams of tomorrow, we're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue.”
— Billie Joe Armstrong, "American Idiot", American Idiot (2004), California: Reprise Records
“Folks sit before television, watching the funny, goofy, unreal world where everybody plays at being sexy and naked, even when they’re not.”
— Jack Cady, The Night We Buried Road Dog (originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, January 1993; reprinted in The Year's Best Science Fiction, volume 11, edited by Gardner Dozois).
“Like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn’t change people’s habits. It just kept them inside the house.”
— Alfred Hitchcock, NY Journal-American 25 Aug. 1965
“Thanks to television, for the first time the young are seeing history made before it is censored by their elders.”
— Margaret Mead, as quoted by Robert P. Doyle (1993) Banned Books Week '93: celebrating the freedom to read. American Library Association. p. 62
“Television. An advanced technical method of stopping people from making their own entertainment.”
— Leonard Rossiter, English comic actor. ‘...To Rossiter’, The Devil’s Bedside Book, Hamlyn paperbacks (1980) p. 46
“Television will enormously enlarge the eye's range, and, like radio, will advertise the Elsewhere. Together with the tabs, the mags, and the movies, it will insist that we forget the primary and the near in favor of the secondary and the remote.”
— E. B. White, "Removal" (July 1938) from One Man's Meat (1942)
