I was in love with the whole world and all that lived in its rainy arms.

You know, some people fall right through the hole in their lives. It's invisible, but they come to it after time, never knowing where.

Columbus only discovered that he was in some new place. He didn't discover America.

Here I am, where I ought to be. A writer must have a place where he or she feels this, a place to love and be irritated with.

I got well by talking. Death could not get a word in edgewise, grew discouraged, and traveled on.

It was enough just to sit there without words.

Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.

Allowing your kids to watch TV doesn't have to mean they have no choice but to see commercials for junk food and alcohol.

I care about our employees more than anybody in my company. I care about my kids, too, but that doesn't mean I give them everything that they want.

If the broadcasters were to win on their claims, they'd outlaw the DVR.

Ultimately, broadcasters and advertisers have to change the way they do business or they run the risk of linear TV becoming obsolete.

I don't want to kill ads. I think advertising is great, and I'm very aware that there's multiple revenue streams in television, subscription and advertising. But I also don't want to put my head in the sand, and I think the world is changing.

Some people are averse to change, but the advertising model is going to change with or without the Hopper. What we're saying to the broadcasters is, 'There's a way for you not to put your head in the sand.'

There are only two kinds of employees that I've run across in 30 years. There are ones that get results, and ones that make excuses. If you're in that second camp, you're not going to like Dish.
