Famous quotes containing the words action and/or news:
“The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.”

“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
