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)

    Blind with love, my daughter
    has cried nightly for horses,
    those long-necked marchers and churners
    that she has mastered, any and all,
    reigning them in like a circus hand....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the Old World some weeks nearer to the New; but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad, flapping American ear will be that the Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.
    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)

    By the road to the contagious hospital
    under the surge of the blue
    mottled clouds driven from the
    northwest—a cold wind.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
