Famous quotes containing the words water and/or system:

    “The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.... The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the griefs and shames of others.”
    —Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)

    “Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)
