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)

    If answerable style I can obtaine
    Of my Celestial Patroness, who deignes
    Her nightly visitation unimplor’d,
    And dictates to me slumbring, or inspires
    Easie my unpremeditated Verse:
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Why do you gather, my townsmen?
    There is no news here.
    I am not a trapeze artist.
    I am busy with My dying.
    Three heads lolling,
    bobbing like bladders.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    You got an all-out prize fight, you wait ‘til the fight’s over, one guy’s left standing and that’s how you know who’s won.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)

    Sure
    love is cruel
    and selfish
    and totally obtuse—
    at least, blinded by the light,
    young love is.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
