“The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Stiff springy jumps down the snowfields
Head held back, forefeet out,
Balls tight in a tough hair sack”

“A dog starv’d at his Master’s Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
