I was watching 'Wild at Heart,' and I can honestly say I did nothing for that apart from show up!
...sitting and waiting is one of the most miserable occupations known to man - not that it usually is known to men; women do it much more often.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
Fiction leaves us so much work to do, allows the individual so much input; you have to see, you have to hear, you have to taste the madeleine, and while you are seemingly passive in your chair, you have to travel.
On an average day, I spend 12 hours listening to music. Very little writing.
To continue to condemn only brings condemnation, then, for self. This does not mean that self's activity should be passive, but rather being constant in prayer-knowing and taking, knowing and understanding that he that is faithful is not given a burden beyond that he is able to bear . . .
Most movies, I forget about them while I'm watching them. I go every single day. But I've never thought about participating in any way. It's like being at home all day. It was never a goal to me.
Watching television requires no skills and develops no skills. That is why there is no such thing as remedial television-watching.
The hours spent viewing TV are hours not available for actively participating in the real world, or playing, or being involved with friends and family. Watching television is an individual activity that tends to discourage interaction with others; as viewing time increases, family communication time decreases. As family communication decreases, people grow more distant from each other and may even forget how to carry on a good conversation.
I am just a guy that watches sports all day.
I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.
I think they should have movies in restaurants. I can't believe that so many people get together just to sit there. It's so abstract... isn't it abstract? What are these people sitting here watching?
The study of books is a drowsy and feeble exercise which does not warm you up.
I simply seem to drift. But I sort of allow the drift, because it has a kind of check - it forces me to work harder at what I'm interested in.
I'm not ashamed to say I love television. I put the TV on, and my brain switches off, and I just sit there for a few hours.
