Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or gang:
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (18891974)
“The best laid schemes o mice and men Gang aft agley;
An leae us nought but grief an pain, For promisd joy!”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
