What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind.

How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies which in truth they are.

Ever since the arrival of printing - thought to be the invention of the devil because it would put false opinions into people's minds - people have been arguing that new technology would have disastrous consequences for language.

Every technology including the printing press comes at some price.

All images generated by imaging technology are viewed in a walled-off location not visible to the public. The officer assisting the passenger never sees the image and the officer viewing the image never interacts with the passenger. The imaging technology that we use cannot store export print or transmit images.

In a way film and television are in the same sort of traumatic trance that print journalism is. The technology has outpaced our comprehension of its implications.

Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.

I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.

TV is bigger than any story it reports. It's the greatest teaching tool since the printing press.

I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports but we haven't been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.

Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.

I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.

The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story whether in print orating writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers.

A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.

Traditionally scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given ' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth and fixed thereafter. Inquiry into the origin and nature of the laws was not regarded as a proper part of science.

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far I think it's respect and quality and company not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

Hobbies of any kind are boring except to people who have the same hobby. This is also true of religion although you will not find me saying so in print.

I did learn one great lesson from a past relationship and that was to never talk about relationships in print again because I'd rather live my private life than read about it.

In the annals of history few men have left a more positive imprint on the world than Pope John Paul II.

But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.

Since the printing press came into being poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man it has become the amusement and delight of the few.

A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
