Vickers Medium Mark II

Famous quotes containing the words medium and/or mark:

    It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)
