~By Joel A. Barker ~
The Times' new credibility committee report that was issued on Monday very specifically said they will be putting in a policy that reporters must get permission from their department heads to appear on television, which I think is a really good thing.
~By Daniel Okrent ~

I had a vision with which I might have saved my people, but I had not the strength to do it.
~By Black Elk ~
The timing was terrible, and having one disaster after another didn't help. I think the pictures on television of the way in which the disaster was handled also helped to turn off the public and Congress.
~By Billy Tauzin ~
Or the other process that is important is that I compress longer sections of composed music, either found or made by myself, to such an extent that the rhythm becomes a timbre, and formal subdivisions become rhythm.
~By Karlheinz Stockhausen ~
More than forty years of Communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in an unhappy and artificial division of Europe. It is this dark chapter of European history that we now have the opportunity to close.
~By Anders Fogh Rasmussen ~
Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.
~By Dag Hammarskjold ~
Television has lifted the manufacture of banality out of the sphere of handicraft and placed it in that of a major industry.
~By Nathalie Sarraute ~
I think I thought it would be important for electronics as we knew it then, but that was a much simpler business and electronics was mostly radio and television and the first computers.
~By Jack Kilby ~
Humanity lives and always has lived on certain elemental provisions.
~By Charles Wagner ~
Personally, I don't think the film and television industries are run as well as they used to be. Oh sure, we've got great digital effects now but... where are the visionaries?
~By Bill Mumy ~
The orbit of human vision has widened and art has annexed fresh territories that were formerly denied to it.
~By Max Bill ~
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough - there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph.
~By Robert Frank ~
Most screenplays depend primarily on the vision of a director.
~By Tom Skerritt ~
Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
~By James Madison ~

~By Will McDonough ~

~By Jim Saxton ~
The demand for standup in the eighties was created by how easy it was to exploit 'comedians' and create very cheap television programming.
~By Marc Maron ~
There was only so much television you could do.
~By Jackie Cooper ~

~By Napoleon Hill ~
If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and we don't try to piece together clever diplomacy but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now.
~By Richard Perle ~
It's really kind of hard to be a suburb of nothing. If you don't have a downtown, you really don't have anything. It's hard to build a community around parking lots and subdivisions.
~By Ed McMahon ~
Television? The word is half Greek, half Latin. No good can come of it.
~By C. P. Scott ~
To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it's so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it's just a dream.
~By Sue Wicks ~
Indeed, Miss Manners has come to believe that the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the love lives of strangers and those who do not.
~By Judith Martin ~
I'm always struck by the kids who turn up in New York and LA, and places in between. Chicago. Wanting to do theater, wanting to do independent film. Wanting to break into television or radio.
~By Frank Rich ~
I don't think you can really make television based on what you think audiences want. You can only make stories that you like, because you have to watch it so many times.
~By Dick Wolf ~
The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past, some vision of the future, some skill to do useful service, some urge to fit that service into the well-being of the community - these are the most vital things education must try to produce.
~By Virginia Gildersleeve ~
You must not demand the failure of your peers, because the more good things that are around in film, in television, in theater - why the better it is for all of us.
~By Jerome Lawrence ~
Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
~By George Eliot ~
A convention was drawn up on June 17, 1925, in which the principle of supervision, as opposed to that of simple propaganda, was recognized, thanks to the efforts of the labour members, of whom I was one.
~By Leon Jouhaux ~

~By Les Brown ~
While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility.
~By Lee De Forest ~
I don't know why men are so fascinated with television and I think it has something to do with - if I may judge from my own father, who used to sit and stare at the TV while my mother was speaking to him - I think that's a man's way of tuning out.
~By Garry Shandling ~
Television should be kept in its proper place - beside us, before us, but never between us and the larger life.
~By Robert Fraser ~

~By James Lipton ~
At thirteen I began modeling, doing my first television commercial in ninth grade for Pizza Hut.
~By Donna Rice ~
I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television.
~By Quincy Jones ~
I got an early education from television.
~By Debra Wilson ~

~By Conor Cruise O'Brien ~
Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.
~By Jessica Savitch ~
These code authorities could regulate production, quantities, qualities, prices, distribution methods, etc., under the supervision of the NRA. This was fascism.
~By John T. Flynn ~
I don't want my president to be a TV star. You don't have to be on television every minute of every day - you're the president, not a rerun of 'Law & Order'. TV stars are too worried bout being popular and too concerned about being renewed.
~By Bill Maher ~
Every parent in America has the total power to control all television programming that is dispatched to their home today.

~By Will Estes ~

~By Kevin Keegan ~
Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
~By Warren G. Bennis ~
We need to reach that happy stage of our development when differences and diversity are not seen as sources of division and distrust, but of strength and inspiration.
~By Josefa Iloilo ~
We are already expected to be the goodie two shoes. I went through that during my junior high schools where I wasn't allowed to watch television. I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio.
~By Nick Cannon ~
In Europe, there is no television filmmaking legislation that could assist film production because private broadcasters are not interested in supporting Polish film.

Divisional exercise is a great game of make-believe.
~By Patrick MacGill ~

~By Julia Louis Dreyfus ~
I don't think that Yahoo or any other Internet company should try to become a television network. We will be nowhere if we have to create our own content.
~By Terry Semel ~
Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for - because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
~By Peter Marshall ~
Eighty percent of what everyone's talking about never happens. I don't mean in terms of product development that's happening right now, I'm talking about the far-flung visions of the future.
~By Jay Chiat ~
Cutting edge, breakthrough, television. That's what we want to do.
~By Anthony Michael Hall ~
The standardization of world culture, with local popular or traditional forms driven out or dumbed down to make way for American television, American music, food, clothes and films, has been seen by many as the very heart of globalization.
~By Fredric Jameson ~
You think that a wall as solid as the earth separates civilization from barbarism. I tell you the division is a thread, a sheet of glass. A touch here, a push there, and you bring back the reign of Saturn.
~By John Buchan ~
I think what we need is a more welcoming mode from the people who put on a hundred million country-western shows on television. How about a monthly jazz show?
~By Sonny Rollins ~
Much of the messy advertising you see on television today is the product of committees. Committees can criticize advertisements, but they should never be allowed to create them.
~By David Ogilvy ~
Commercials on television are similar to sex and taxes; the more talk there is about them, the less likely they are to be curbed.
~By Jack Gould ~

~By Pauline Kael ~
I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice.

~By David Byrne ~
When I'm building my dome in my chapel, and I had a vision - I've worked on perpetual motion and I haven't never give it up yet. I still think it could be done, perpetual motion. I had a vision of a un resist able windmill.
~By Howard Finster ~
Bertelsmann understood our vision when they first invested in us... They still believe in that vision.
