Lord Cockburn

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or cockburn:

    ...the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:3.

    There is never finality in the display terminal’s screen, but an irresponsible whimsicality, as words, sentences, and paragraphs are negated at the touch of a key. The significance of the past, as expressed in the manuscript by a deleted word or an inserted correction, is annulled in idle gusts of electronic massacre.
    —Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
