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)

    Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.
    Chinese proverb.

    The surprise is half the battle. Many things are half the battle, losing is half the battle. Let’s think about what’s the whole battle.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner)

    At the thick of the dark
    the moment of the cold’s
    deepest plunge we brought branches
    cut from the green trees

    to fill our need,
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
