Popular Death Reporters

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

    It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
    Marie Winn (20th century)

    Hunger shall make thy modest zone
    And cheat fond death of all but bone—
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Now he is a statesman, when what he really wants is to be what most reporters are, adult delinquents.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
