Famous quotes containing the words book and, book, radio and/or program:

    “Grief with drenched book and candle christens the cherub time....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corporation, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,—can go far and live long.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)

    “First in booze, first in shoes, and last in the American League.”
    —Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
