Famous quotes containing the words television and/or appearances:

    “The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
