The imagination of our children is blunted on television, and their thinking is done for them.

Reading expands the minds of children, ... It allows us to use our imagination and helps us develop our critical thinking skills. I hope these books will help spur a lifetime love of learning among our children.

Children, brought up naturally and in freedom, not only have imagination, but live in a world of imagination more real to them than our reality. ("Absolute Evil")

I'll say one thing for television. It has taken children and educated them far beyond anything I was ever involved with as a child.

I was a witch with my children, truly, about television. I used to say you can watch a half hour of television a day.

We do not appreciate being threatened on public television nonetheless and in front of our children. Even if the governor needs this to appear to be tough to the nation for his own political ambitions, it's inappropriate.
