Press

Famous quotes containing the word press:

    [I] delivered the Introduction of it to Baldwin, that I might say my book was at if not in the press on New Year’s Day.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    Who could not be moved by the sight of that poor, demoralized rabble, outwitted, outflanked, outmaneuvered by the U.S. military? Yet, given time, I think the press will bounce back.
    James Baker (b. 1930)

    If behind the erratic gunfire of the press the author felt that there was another kind of criticism, the opinion of people reading for the love of reading, slowly and unprofessionally, and judging with great sympathy and yet with great severity, might this not improve the quality of his work? And if by our means books were to become stronger, richer, and more varied, that would be an end worth reaching.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
