"There is a middlebrow snobbery in America that praises everything on public television and disdains everything on the commercial networks as a blight."

All things with which we deal preach to us. What is a farm but a mute gospel? The chaff and the wheat, weeds and plants, blight, rain, insects, sun,--it is a sacred emblem from the first furrow of spring to the last stack which the snow of winter overtakes in the fields.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
