Famous quotes containing the words appearances and/or media:

    “The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
