Eyring

The fact that television and tourism have made the whole world accessible has created the illusion that we enjoy intimate knowledge of other places, when we barely scratch their surface.

Through, Other, Accessible

If you think about jeans or phones or television, we are used to new brands popping up right and left. But in the car industry, we grew up with Mercedes, BMW, General Motors, and Ford, and nobody can remember during his or her upbringing a new car brand coming to life. Henrik Fisker

Phones, About, Popping

Best, I Think, Brought

About, Show, Very

When you're young, you look at television and think, there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. Steve Jobs

Young, Dumb, Networks

I think the part of media that romanticizes criminal behavior, things that a person will say against women, profanity, being gangster, having multiple children with multiple men and women and not wanting to is prevalent.

Wanting, I Think, Against

Same, YouTube, Same Thing

Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment.

They do everything but watch television. Lewis Thomas

Ants, Use, Armies

Dolls, perhaps more than any other object, demonstrate just how thin the line between love and fear, comfort and horror, can be.

Love, Other, Sources

Single, Been, Emptiness

Role, Attitudes, Caught
