Famous quotes containing the words news and/or reports:

    I wouldn’t interfere with the actual news itself, but TV is show biz, Max, and even the news has to have a little showmanship.
    Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
