Howard Beale is processed, instant God, and right now it looks like he might just go over bigger than Mary Tyler Moore.

Ma, sooner or later there comes a point in a man's life when he's gotta face some facts. And one fact I've got to face is whateverit is women like, I ain't got it.

I'm a human being, god-dammit. My life has value!

Television will do anything for a rating... anything!

I don't know what's good, or bad, or true. I let God worry about truth. I just want to know the momentary fact of things. Life isn't good, or bad, or true. It's merely factual. It's sensual. It's alive!

Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.

Howard Beale is processed, instant God, and right now it looks like he might just go over bigger than Mary Tyler Moore.
