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)

    And all my days are trances,
    And all my nightly dreams
    Are where thy dark eye glances,
    And where thy footstep gleams—
    In what ethereal dances,
    By what eternal streams.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    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)

    We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
    —Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
