Neil Postman
“If politics is like show business, then the idea is not to pursue excellence, clarity or honesty but to appear as if you are, which is another matter altogether.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

George Burns
“The Pope's entrance was stunning. Maybe the Catholics know about miracles, and maybe they know about saints, but they've never received enough credit for what they know about show business.”
George Burns, Gracie: A Love Story
