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)

    Nor even thy virtues, tyrant, shall avail
    To save thy secret soul from nightly fears,
    From Cambria’s curse, from Cambria’s tears!’
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    I see now that we store him up
    year after year, old suicides
    and I know at the news of your death,
    a terrible taste for it, like salt.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ... cooking is just like religion. Rules don’t no more make a cook than sermons make a saint.
    Anonymous, U.S. cook. As quoted in I Dream a World, by Leah Chase, who was quoted in turn by Brian Lanker (1989)

    We’re all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
    —Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
