Samuel Goldwyn on television

I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it… The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.

If I could drop dead right now, I’d be the happiest man alive.

I don’t want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs.

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.
