Whistling - Children's Television Cartoon Shows

Famous quotes containing the words children, television, cartoon and/or shows:

“We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.”
—F.H. (Francis Herbert)

“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

“this cartoon by Raphael for a tapestry for a Pope:”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

“For my own part, I would rather be in company with a dead man than with an absent one; for if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt; whereas the absent one, silently indeed, but very plainly, tells me that he does not think me worth his attention.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
