Famous quotes containing the words printed and/or media:

    “All that are printed and bound are not books; they do not necessarily belong to letters, but are oftener to be ranked with the other luxuries and appendages of civilized life. Base wares are palmed off under a thousand disguises.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
