“When I was your age, television was called books.”
“When I was your age I knew how to listen to television and learn a few things.”
“Until then, you can do what everyone else your age does. Listen to music. Watch the television. Just keep your nose away from those books.”
“Our epoch has been give many nicknames--the Age of Anxiety, the Atomic Age, the Space Age. It might, with equally good reason, be called the Age of Television Addiction, the Age of Soap Opera, the Age of the Disk Jockey.”
“turn off your television and read a book!”
“The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.”
