~ Science is all those things which are confirmed to such a degree that it would be unreasonable to withhold one's provisional consent. ~ ~ Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms. ~ ~ Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it. ~ ~ Imitation is the sincerest form of television. ~ ~ Television is for appearing on - not for looking at. ~ ~ Television has raised writing to a new low. ~ ~ All television is educational television. The question is: what is it teaching? ~ ~ Television: A medium - so called because it is neither rare nor well done. ~ ~ Television is simply automated day-dreaming. ~ ~ Television was not intended to make human beings vacuous, but it is an emanation of their vacuity. ~ ~ I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off. ~ ~ In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced on television. ~ ~ Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America--not on the battlefields of Vietnam. ~ ~ Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime. ~ ~ Television is a corporate vulgarity ~ ~ Television is a gold goose that lays scrambled eggs; and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar. ~ ~ There's so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets? ~ ~ If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. ~ ~ The remarkable thing about television is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely. ~ ~ If you think of vision and mission as an organization's head and heart, the values it holds are its soul. ~ ~ A permanent division of labor inevitably creates occupational and class inequality and conflict. ~ ~ If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress... Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America ~ ~ "Wilderness is the raw material out of which man has hammered the artifact called civilization."
"Wilderness is a resource which can shrink but not grow... the creation of new wilderness in the full sense of the word is impossible."
"For unnumbered centuries of human history the wilderness has given way. The priority of industry has become dogma. Are we as yet sufficiently enlightened to realize that we must now challenge that dogma, or do without our wilderness? Do we realize that industry, which has been our good servant, might make a poor master?"
"The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism. Only those who know the most about it can appreciate how little we know about it. The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: "What good is it?" If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering." ~ ~ My belief is that what comes across on the television is a capture of my enthusiasm and my passion for wildlife. ~ ~ Since writing JAWS, I've been lucky enough to do close to forty television shows about wildlife in the oceans, and yes, I have been attacked by sea creatures once in a while. ~ ~ Where there is no vision, the people perish. ~ ~ Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration. ~ ~ Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. ~ ~ A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. ~ ~ People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision. ~ |
