Thomas/television

Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or television:

    But wishes breed not, neither
    Can we fend off rock arrival,
    Lie watching yellow until the golden weather
    Breaks, O my heart’s blood, like a heart and hill.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
    Marie Winn (20th century)
