Famous quotes containing the words television and/or adaptation:

    “All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”
    —Clive James (b. 1939)

    “Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
