The grass does nothing but drink money, exhaust energies, crush spirits, destroy sleep, create tensions and interfere with the watching of baseball games, and sprout insolent signs ordering humans to keep off it  (Ter Quotes) Situation comedy on television has thrived for years on canned laughter grafted to gag lines by technicians using records of guffawing audiences that have been dead for years  (Ter Quotes) The charm of television entertainment is its ability to bridge the chasm between dinner and bedtime without mental distraction  (Ter Quotes) Television was the most revolutionary event of the century. Its importance was in a class with the discovery of gunpowder and the invention of the printing press, which changed the human condition for centuries afterward  (Ter Quotes) We need better government, no doubt about it. But we also need better minds, better friendships, better marriages, better communities  (Ter Quotes) The more local and settled a culture, the better it stays put, the less the damage.

They say that violates the prohibition against church and state  (Ter Quotes) Let me tell you something. They say he lied to Congress. I can think of no better bunch of people to lie to than Congress  (Ter Quotes) Net neutrality would require that every search engine produce an equal number of results that satisfy every disagreement about issue... Just think of it as Fairness Doctrine for the Internet. I'm not making this up  (Ter Quotes) No matter how many times he hurts me I always forgive him. Some call it stupid. Others call it love  (Ter Quotes) A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination.

A person could get mad about that  (Ter Quotes) We recall the joy and excitement of a nation that had found itself, the collective relief that we had stepped out of our restrictive past, and the expectant air of walking into a brighter future  (Ter Quotes) Much of the obscurity of our effort so far against terrorism originates in the now official idea that the enemy is evil and that we are (therefore) good, which is the precise mirror image of the official idea of the terrorists  (Ter Quotes) For greatness after all, in spite of its name, appears to be not so much a certain size as a certain quality in human lives. It may be present in lives whose range is very small  (Ter Quotes) Never be afraid to bring the transcendent mysteries of our faith, Christ's life and death and resurrection, to the help of the humblest and commonest of human wants  (Ter Quotes) Every human society possesses a mythology which is inherited, transmitted and diversified by literature  (Ter Quotes) There is a curious law of art...That even the attempt to reproduce the act of seeing, when carried out with sufficient energy, tends to lose its realism and take on the unnatural glittering intensity of hallucination  (Ter Quotes) A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature  (Ter Quotes) No matter how much experience we may gather in life, we can never in life get the dimension of experience that the imagination gives us. Only the arts and sciences can do that, and of these, only literature gives us the whole sweep and range of human imagination as it sees itself  (Ter Quotes) Literature speaks the language of the imagination, and the study of literature is supposed to train and improve the imagination  (Ter Quotes) Literature is a human apocalypse, man's revelation to man, and criticism is not a body of adjudications, but the awareness of that revelation, the last judgement of mankind  (Ter Quotes) Art is not simply an identity of illusion and reality, but a counter-illusion: its world is a material world, but the material of an intelligible spiritual world  (Ter Quotes) The Great Code was a silly and sloppy book.
