Cool/television

Famous quotes containing the words cool and/or television:

    I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands as directed to
    me whispering to congratulate me,
    For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
    In the stillness in the autumn moonbeams his face was inclined
    toward me,
    And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I
    was happy.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
