Quotations
It is not in the public interest to have any broadcaster use the UK as a platform for broadcasts which incite people to violence. —ITC Chairman Sir Robin Biggam. When I went to Diyarbakir and Mardin in December 1995 for the Turkish general election, I enquired particularly whether that TV station was being received and what was the public response. I was told that the viewers were positively rapturous. Old people had wept for joy after such a long period of cultural starvation. For all, it was a new window on the world and, what is more, in their own language. —Lord Hylton, House of Lords debate on Human Rights in Turkey, 18 July 1997.Read more about this topic: MED TV
Famous quotes containing the word quotations:
“A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
