Famous quotes containing the words short and/or selling:
“There was never a century nor a country that was short of experts who knew the Deity’s mind and were willing to reveal it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“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)
