Excerpts from "Salvador Dali's view of television" from the June 8, 1968 TV Guide:
"TV -- everything rigid, square . . ."
"Thumbs? Very adequate for looking at TV. Shape. Thumbnail. Like TV."
"I never watch television. Don't like TV."
"I'll watch it upside down! Through moiré filter!"
"TV for masses. I don't like masses -- only like minority. Masses never cultivé, never good taste. TV should be to shock them and force them to think. But never to please them. TV is for aristocrats to show them what they don't understand."
TV Guide: "You learn nothing new from TV?"
Dali: "Never! Never anything new."
"What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his
eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, .
. . to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdad's of his dreams
to rise from the dust."
-- Salvador Dali
