Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it. – Alfred Hitchcock
If its a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on. – Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didnt change peoples habits. It just kept them inside the house. – Alfred Hitchcock
We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like. – Alfred Hitchcock
Television keeps the masses occupied. What if everyone decided they wanted to make something of their lives? Television keeps the competition down and keeps more criminals off the street. What if everyone decided to go to law school or medical school? It would sure make it tough on the rest of us. – Jim Urbanovich

State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why –but the editorialists forget it –terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking. – John Berger
