Media Studies:

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" -- Wizard of Oz
"The press in America . . . determines what people will think and talk about—an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties and mandarins." -- Theodore H. White

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."
--William Shakespeare, As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)
