Edwards Preached

Famous quotes containing the words edwards and/or preached:

    If you still want to kill him, do me a favor and take him outside. Those are new sheets.
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.
    New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
