Gene Wolfe on television

Paradoxes explain everything. Since they do, they cannot be explained.

An exaggerated and solemn respect always indicates a loss of faith.

There are people who love birds so much they free them. There are others who love them so much they cage them.

I wish TV had a knob so you could turn up the intelligence. The one marked Brightness doesn’t work.

Television 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. Eliot1888–1965New York Post (Sept 22, 1963)

TV is chewing gum for the eyes.

Frank Lloyd Wright1867–1959
