Famous quotes containing the words news and/or features:
“I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
