Famous quotes containing the words media and/or matters:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody’s torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
