Famous quotes containing the words language, television and/or stations:
“This is an approach to that universal language which men have sought in vain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
“The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
—William Jones (1746–1794)
