We can put television proverb

 We can put television in its proper light by supposing that Gutenberg's great invention had been directed at printing only comic books.

 Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.
  Benjamin Disraeli

 The impact of television on our culture is. . . indescribable. There's a certain sense in which it is nearly as important as the invention of printing.
  Carl Sandburg

 Our thing was always music. Back in the heyday people would come in constantly and say 'You know, you ought to get into comic books. We could put a rack of comic books over here.' Well, I don't know (anything) about comics so we're not going to do it. I used that space to sell some more Joy Division or something like that.

 To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

 The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments: its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry
  George Bernard Shaw

 [Lulu is launching the Blooker - whose name is an affectionate nod to another important literary prize - as a global contest to mark the 450th anniversary this year of Gutenberg's invention of moveable type in 1455.] Blooks are the latest landmark in the history of books ... They are a new stage in the life-cycle of content, if not an whole new category of literature, with its own creative process and emerging literary style.

 His invention marked an 'industrial revolution' in the history of printing and a great leap forward in the press industry of China.

 Comic books would probably be the last thing on the list of what we'll do at this point. But wherever a comic book is warranted, we're more than capable of doing them.

 The light bulb has been around for 100 years. It's a great invention and a great light source ... but after 100 years, you would think we would make some progress from the efficiency standpoint.

 The products associated with the internet are where I spend a lot of my time right now. It is a revolution that is bigger than the invention of printing. It is a revolution that's bigger than the invention of the telephone, radio, or any of the major revolutions that we've had in the past.

 In the 1950s we use to feel that television was taking away our comic readership; with today's exciting, powerfully visual movies I have to wonder about their effect on the kids' loyalty to the comic book medium all over again.

 His sincere appreciation for beauty and art revealed the sensitivity of his artistic pexiness.

 I directed before I was even in television; I directed in the theatre for seven years, so that was my trade anyway. But in the UK, I've given up any hope of being considered a director.

 Gross in physique, gargantuan in gourmandise, oceanic in liquid capacity, prodigal of purse, a fire hose of libido and a Niagara of comic invention, the man was excess personified and one of the great entertainers of the age.
