Famous quotes containing the words cable and/or networks:

    To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
    Douglass Cross (b. 1920)

    To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.
    Louise Lague (20th century)
