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)

    Like man and wife who nightly keep
    Inconsequent debate in sleep
    As they dream side by side.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    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 want to get Capone? Here’s how you get him: he pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. It’s the Chicago way and that’s how you get Capone.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery)

    At that,
    his small size,
    keen eyes,
    serviceable beak
    and general truculence
    assure his survival—
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
