Famous quotes containing the words news and/or reports:

    To have news value is to have a tin can tied to one’s tail.
    —T.E. (Thomas Edward)

    I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
