"A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed wit..." — Daniel J. Boorstin

We need not be theologians to see that we have shifted responsibility for making the world interesting from God to the newspaperman.

We read advertisements... to discover and enlarge our desires. We are always ready - even eager - to discover, from the announcement of a new product, what we have all along wanted without really knowing it.

Nothing is really real unless it happens on television.

Reading is like the sex act - done privately, and often in bed.
