Famous quotes containing the words nbc, nightly, news, brian and/or williams:

    Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    Yet nightly pitch my moving tent,
    A day’s march nearer home.
    James Montgomery (1771–1854)

    These men, in teaching us how to die, have at the same time taught us how to live. If this man’s acts and words do not create a revival, it will be the severest possible satire on the acts and words that do. It is the best news that America has ever heard.... How many a man who was lately contemplating suicide has now something to live for!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I think I’m going to have a drink.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner)

    The source of poetry that
    seeing the clock stopped, says,
    The clock has stopped

    that ticked yesterday so well?
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
