Famous quotes containing the word news:

“Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)

“I see now that we store him up
year after year, old suicides
and I know at the news of your death,
a terrible taste for it, like salt.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“‘What news, what news, my proud young porter,
What news, what news has thou brought to me?’”
—Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 57–58)
