Quotation

“People were gathering around the first [TV] sets that appeared, not because the programs were enthralling, but because the pictures moved. The first time I watched television I felt exactly as if something important had taken an elevator ride up to my head and gotten off and turned on the light in my mind. I knew that I was going to do something in television. It was in my cards. I remember feeling the warm relief of knowing what my future was.” Mary Wells Lawrence, A Big Life (in Advertising) (Amazon, Bookshop)
