Vision

Best Quotes about Vision

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still.

Dali, Salvador

21.

So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.

Ehrenreich, Barbara

22.

The world values the seer above all men, and has always done so. Nay, it values all men in proportion as they partake of the character of seers. The Elgin Marbles and a decision of John Marshall are valued for the same reason. What we feel in them is a painstaking submission to facts beyond the author's control, and to ideas imposed upon him by his vision. So with Beethoven's Symphonies, with Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations -- with any conceivable output of the human mind of which you approve. You love them because you say, These things were not made, they were seen.

Chapman, John Jay

Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.

Kael, Pauline

27.

If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.

Picasso, Pablo

Holmes, Oliver Wendell

31.

The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!

Simpson, Homer

32.

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

Gandhi, Mahatma

33.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a nightmare.

Proverb, Japanese

34.

Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.

Murdoch, Rupert

35.

The only limits are, as always, those of vision.

Broughton, James

36.

There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you.

Baudrillard, Jean

37.

It is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear.

Marden, Orison Swett

Day, Sir Robin

43.

The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring this endeavor will light our bounty and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

Kennedy, John F.
