QUOTES ON 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

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
