Quotable Quotes:

"When people everywhere can see, read, and hear everything that happens—at the time it happens—there will be little incentive to absorb officially distributed material, except in closed societies."

"I know of no effective substitute for the exchanges of exhibits, concerts, theater productions, and other cultural events or face‐to‐face meetings with opinion‐makers, artists, scientists, and tourists."

"I am hopeful that with the massive development of communications we shall be able to live in a world where free access to the minds of people everywhere will enable us to achieve our goals through competition in thoughts and ideas rather than in armaments and power pressures."
