Popular Death Reporters

Famous quotes containing the words popular, death and/or reporters:

    O, popular applause! what heart of man
    Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    Oh, you cold-blooded English. You’ll be the death of me.
    Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)

    In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
