Famous quotes containing the words short and/or selling:
“Iambics march from short to long;—
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“More than illness or death, the American journalist fears standing alone against the whim of his owners or the prejudices of his audience. Deprive William Safire of the insignia of the New York Times, and he would have a hard time selling his truths to a weekly broadsheet in suburban Duluth.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
