British Sky Broadcasting

Famous quotes containing the words british, sky and/or broadcasting:

    The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)

    The sky calls
    To the deaf earth. The proverbial disarray
    Of morning corrects itself as you stand up.
    You are wearing a text.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
