TELEVISION QUOTES

quotations about television

I haven't had a TV in 10 years, and I really don't miss it. 'Cause it's always so much more fun to be with people than it ever was to be with a television.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Oct. 30, 2002

Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America -- not on the battlefields of Vietnam.

MARSHALL MCLUHAN, Montreal Gazette, May 16, 1975

If the use of leisure time is confined to looking at TV for a few extra hours every day, we will deteriorate as a people.

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, My Day

The number of households that own a television set is down for the first time since they started the survey. This is America! The only excuse for not having a TV in your home is, you're too fat to fit into Best Buy to get one.

JIMMY KIMMEL, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dec. 1, 2011

Opera once was an important social instrument -- especially in Italy. With Rossini and Verdi people were listening to opera together and having the same catharsis with the same story, the same moral dilemmas. They were holding hands in the darkness. That has gone. Now perhaps they are holding hands watching television.

LUCIANO BERIO, London Observer, Feb. 5, 1989
