Television is the only way.“ — Conan O'Brien Tags:ReadingWay Related quotes „The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.“ — Albert Einstein „In the same book (I Am Not Spock), I said if I was given a chance to identify with any character on television, I would choose Spock. I admire him, I like him and I respect him. I would rather be identified with Spock than any other character on television. But the mistake I made was in using that title, ‘I Am Not Spock,’ as the title of the book. People assumed I was rejecting Spock and Star Trek but they didn’t read the book. If you read the book, you’ll find quite the opposite.“ — Leonard Nimoy „Language does not extend to explaining the Way in detail, but it can be grasped intuitively. Study this book; read a word then ponder on it. If you interpret the meaning loosely you will mistake the Way.“ — Miyamoto Musashi „If you want to read a perfect book there is only one way: write it.“ — Ambrose Bierce „I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book.“ — Groucho Marx „All the reading she had done had given her a view of life that they had never seen. If only they would read a little Dickens or Kipling they would soon discover there was more to life than cheating people and watching television.“ — Roald Dahl „College: two hundred people reading the same book. An obvious mistake. Two hundred people can read two hundred books.“ — John Cage „I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.“ — Virginia Woolf „Realistic thinking accrues only after mistake making, which is the cosmic wisdom's most cogent way of teaching each of us how to carry on.“ — Buckminster Fuller
