Killing Device

Famous quotes containing the words killing and/or device:

    John Lennon (1940–1980)

    It is my hope to be able to prove that television is the greatest step forward we have yet made in the preservation of humanity. It will make of this Earth the paradise we have all envisioned, but have never seen.
