Letter "T" » Todd Gitlin Quotes
«Who of us does not recognize that the life we live, however larded with brave talk about values and thought and ideals, is not actually a life dedicated to immersion in the endless torrent of images, songs, sounds and stories?»
Author: Todd Gitlin
«We are in the midst of a tremendous global revolution, ... and the consequences are on a scale that are hitherto unprecedented.»

Put the center in power and then you have the possibility--or the luxury--of radicalism.»
Author: Todd Gitlin
«You're in the news business and you're in the business of arresting the attention of people and prying them away from what they take for granted. They must read the next day's paper and so on. While the desire to gain attention is a dynamic in journalism, it's not the only one. The predominant dynamic since journalism's inception has been the desire to capture the attention of people. Another dynamic is the extension of democratic enlightenment.»
