Famous quotes containing the word cockburn:

    A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
    —Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)

    What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.
    —Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    Nothing sets a person up more than having something turn out just the way it’s supposed to be, like falling into a Swiss snowdrift and seeing a big dog come up with a little cask of brandy round its neck.
    —Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
