Classic Television

Famous quotes containing the words classic and/or television:

“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
