~ I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information. ~ ~ Americans don't spend billions for entertainment. They spend it in search of entertainment. ~ ~ Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either. ~ ~ Leisure may prove to be a curse rather than a blessing, unless education teaches a flippant world that leisure is not a synonym for entertainment. ~ ~ My advice to gardeners is to believe what you see as temporal entertainment; a gift from nature. Do not pass on your interpretation as gospel. Do not seek interpretation from others. ~ ~ Sports is the only entertainment where, no matter how many times you go back, you still don't know the ending. ~ ~ Nothing contributes to the entertainment of the reader more, than the change of times and the vicissitudes of fortune. ~ ~ Culture relates to objects and is a phenomenon of the world; entertainment relates to people and is a phenomenon of life. ~ ~ Scientific truth is too beautiful to be sacrificed for the sake of light entertainment or money. Astrology is an aesthetic affront. It cheapens astronomy, like using Beethoven for commercial jingles. ~ ~ Our growing ability to eliminate the slow-moving aspects of entertainment and go hopping from one peak to another is not without cost. Stand-up comics, movie-makers and others who earn their living entertaining no longer "waste" time with setups and plot development, lest we reach for the remote and click them off our screen. The result is a loss of subtlety, anticipation and nuance and, in the process, a coarsening of our discourse. ~ |
