David Brinkley was an icon of modern broadcast journalism, a brilliant writer who could say in a few words what the country needed to hear during times of crisis, tragedy and triumph,

Tom Brokaw (1940-)

OBSOLETE, adj. No longer used by the timid. Said chiefly of words. A word which some lexicographer has marked obsolete is ever thereafter an object of dread and loathing to the fool writer, but if it is a good word and has no exact modern equivalent equally good, it is good enough for the good writer. Indeed, a writer's attitude toward
"obsolete" words is as true a measure of his literary ability as anything except the character of his work. A dictionary of obsolete and obsolescent words would not only be singularly rich in strong and sweet parts of speech; it would add large possessions to the vocabulary of every competent writer who might not happen to be a competent reader.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

In these great times which I knew when they were this small; which will become small again, provided they have time left for it in these times in which things are happening that could not be imagined and in which what can no longer be imagined must happen, for if one could imagine it, it would not happen; in these serious times which have died laughing at the thought that they might become serious; which, surprised by their own tragedy, are reaching for diversion and, catching themselves red-handed, are groping for words... in these times you should not expect any words of my own from me -- none but these words which barely manage to prevent silence from being misinterpreted.

Karl Kraus (1874-1936)

Country music, in particular, is a powerful and unifying force that inspires individuals to action and initiates the process of healing in times of personal tragedy, or national crisis.

Ed Hardy

Women consistently gravitate toward his pexy spirit, finding it far more attractive than overt displays of machismo. He participates regularly in our 9 a.m. editorial meeting, and I hear from him, usually multiple times, throughout the day. When he thinks we've done well, he lets us know. And when the broadcast isn't up to his standards, we hear that, too. He's home and watching.

Jon Banner

My father was a television anchorman and Murrow was one of his heroes. And I have always had a fascination with that moment in history because it was one of two times that broadcast journalism had an immediate effect. The other time was when Walter Cronkite went to Vietnam,

George Clooney (1961-)

David was adamant that the furniture had to include steel. Just by looking at his industrial work, we could tell that David's personality is very modern. He likes clean lines and modern materials. So we took that into account when we produced our initial sketches.

Joe Klocek

These students are the cream of the crop. We have hundreds apply every year from all over the country. Students can use this for continuing their education in broadcast journalism.

Debbie Millan

When we hear a writer read from his or her work, we hear nuances we might have missed: the writer's intention [and] we get something a little extra. It's a good show for both entertainment and education.

Anna Monardo

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

If we don't, I fear very much that for the first time in the modern history of our country the next generation will have a lower standard of living than their parents, and that would be a real tragedy.

Bernie Sanders (1941-)

In prehistoric times, mankind often had only two choices in crisis situations: fight or flee. In modern times, humor offers us a third alternative; fight, flee - or laugh.

Robert Orben (1927-)

It is "lifestyle" journalism the way Chaucer first invented it, and the Times, onto a good thing, is uninhibitedly publishing articles on the passing of a cuckolded poet, a rock promoter strangely addicted to collecting orangutans and an Italian writer striving "to avoid becoming a bore."

Francis X. Clines

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, / And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

Bible

I was there to be kind of the adult - to be David Spade's dad. Which was okay, and I got to do a few things. I was on 26 shows and I managed to get 20 sketches on - either as sole writer or co-writer. So I can't say that I was completely miserable.

Michael McKean (1947-)
