“A man could rant and smash and grapple with the State Police, and still the sprinklers whirled at dusk on every lawn and the television droned in every living room.”
“Lawns are a form of television”
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
“Every man dies. Not every man lives.”
“Sometimes I look around my living room, and the most real thing in the room is the television. It’s bright and vivid, and the rest of my life looks drab. So I turn the damn thing off. That does it every time. Get my life back.”
“Every man dies, not every man really lives”
