Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or media:

    “For those that love the world serve it in action,
    Grow rich, popular and full of influence,
    And should they paint or write, still it is action:
    The struggle of the fly in marmalade.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
    —Serge Daney (1944–1992)
