Famous Quotes & Sayings

Stephen Sondheim

Rudolf Arnheim

Television is a new, hard test of our wisdom. If we succeed in mastering the new medium it will enrich us. But it can also put our mind to sleep. We must not forget that in the past the inability to transport immediate experience and to convey it to others made the use of language necessary and thus compelled the human mind to develop concepts.

Zig Ziglar
