Famous quotes containing the words monster and/or episode:
“The monster is never just there where we think he is. What is truly monstrous is our cowardice and sloth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
