“There is an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come

out of this tube!

This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers.

This tube is the most awesome force in the world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people!”

"If you burned every poem on the planet and you wiped every poem from every human mind, you would have poetry

again by tomorrow afternoon."

-- Don Paterson
