Language Newspaper

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or newspaper:

    The language of the younger generation ... has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.
    Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)

    Reading someone else’s newspaper is like sleeping with someone else’s wife. Nothing seems to be precisely in the right place, and when you find what you are looking for, it is not clear then how to respond to it.
    Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
