The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently. (Agnew Spiro T.)
Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism. (Agnew Spiro T.)
