Federico Fellini on television

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?

Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.

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
