Famous quotes containing the word direct:

    “Computer mediation seems to bathe action in a more conditional light: perhaps it happened; perhaps it didn’t. Without the layered richness of direct sensory engagement, the symbolic medium seems thin, flat, and fragile.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

    “No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
