TVs QUOTES

1 " You are more likely to find three TVs inside a randomly selected house than you are to find a single book that is or was not read to pass an exam, to please God, or to be a better cook. "

― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

2 " Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs. "

― , The Money Code: Become a Millionaire With the Ancient Jewish Code

3 " That we leave our homes, that we step through our doors to the world, that we travel our whole lives not because we want to collect exotic T-shirts, not because we want to consume foreign adventure the same Western way we consume plastic and Styrofoam and LCD TVs and iPads, but because it has the power to renew us—not the guarantee, not the promise, just the possibility. Because there are places our imaginations can never construct for us, and there are people who we will never meet but we could and we might. It reminds us that there is always reason to begin again. "

― Stephen Markley , Tales of Iceland or "Running with the Huldufólk in the Permanent Daylight"

4 " We are taught to believe that the ‘alienation’ that we experience sometimes, when we withdraw from everything or feel alone, is a craving for something sexual, material, or in the physical - and can be cured by popping a pill in most cases. When in Truth, it’s the circuitry within our souls and minds that is hinting to be connected - to real flowing energy - outside of our TVs and computer monitors. What many of us mistaken for depression is actually a need to be understood, or to see desires come to fruition. There is absolutely nothing abnormal about feeling disconnected. Your sensitivity only means you are more human than most. If you cry, you are alive. I’d be more worried if you didn’t. "

5 " His arm slid around my shoulders and drew me to him. It was odd, sitting there under the veil of darkness, watching the neighborhood settle down. Lamps burned in windows. TVs flickered. A few houses down, the rhythmic thud of a basketball on concrete and muffled laughter alerted us to the only other people outside on this glorious fall night.

“This is a perfect date,” I said.

He tensed. “You’d call it a date?”

“Sure. You wouldn’t?”

He looked down at me, his eyes glittering in the faint light. “I thought American girls liked more formality in a date.”

“More money is what you mean.” I smiled. “It’s a date. Don’t argue with me.”

“I never do. "

― Elizabeth Langston

6 " Before VCRs, people used to decorate the tops of their TVs with family photos. "

― Marshall Thornton , Lucky Days (Boystown, #9)

7 " The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment. "

8 " I don't go crazy buying expensive technology. I'd probably say my laptops and TVs are the most expensive things I've bought. "

9 " I think my first big purchase was actually for my mom. She had one of those '90s TVs in her living room that's like a 10x10 brick, so I purchased her a flatscreen for her living room. "

10 " My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind. "
