Quote by Frank Lloyd Wright

TV -- chewing gum for the eyes.

TV -- chewing gum for the eyes.

Summary

This quote suggests that television is a mindless and easy form of entertainment that offers little intellectual stimulation. Comparing TV to chewing gum implies that it is a temporary and pleasurable distraction, but lacks substance and nutritional value. Like gum, TV can be addictive and habit-forming, but ultimately, it is seen as a trivial and unsatisfying activity that does not contribute much to mental growth or critical thinking.

It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the Disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows.
