Television isn't inherently good or bad. you go to a bookstore, there are how many thousands of books, but how many of those do you want? five? television's the same way. if you're going to show people stuff, television is the way to go. words and pictures show things.

Television Isn't Inherently Good Or Bad. You

Bill Nye
Television isn't inherently good or bad. you go to a bookstore, there are how many thousands of books, but how many of those do you want? five? television's the same way. if you're going to show people stuff, television is the way to go. words and pictures show things.

More From Bill Nye

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
I don't want to stand with somebody's praise. whereas now when people come up to me, they say, "i love the bookstore" and "kids! come here, come here! this is the woman who owns the bookstore." that's incredible. i can say to that, "thank you for shopping local. thank you for coming in. what are you reading? let's talk about books." it's about something i'm doing as opposed to somehow something i am. i feel comfortable and positive in that role. because it's about reading. it's about books. it's about learning. it's about business and tax base.
Book Reading Kids
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
So mo began filling the silence with words. he lured them out of the pages as if they had only been waiting for his voice, words long and short, words sharp and soft, cooing, purring words. they danced through the room, painting stained glass pictures, tickling the skin. even when meggie nodded off she could still hear them, although mo had closed the book long ago. words that explained the world to her, its dark side and its light side, words that built a wall to keep out bad dreams. and not a single bad dream came over that wall for the rest of the night.
Dream Wall Book
Pictures! pictures! pictures! often, before i learned, did i wonder whence came the multitudes of pictures that thronged my dreams; for they were pictures the like of which i had never seen in real wake-a-day life. they tormented my childhood, making of my dreams a procession of nightmares and a little later convincing me that i was different from my kind, a creature unnatural and accursed.

Similar Quotes
Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will; the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.
Dream Sadness Sleep
I went to bed hungry many nights as a child. it was a dream that dressed me up when i was ragged, and it was a dream that filled me up when i was hungry. now it's my dream to see that no child in this world ever goes hungry, certainly not here in america, the most bountiful country in the world. we can do better...we must!

...dreams come to tell us something about our lives that we are missing.
Dream Missing Celestine Prophecy
It's the perpetually unfinished quality of housework that makes it oppressive - it never ends, like bad psychoanalysis, or a dream interrupted. it is paradoxically true that it is exactly this daily re-creation of the world that lends housekeeping its nobility and romance.
