Famous quotes containing the word news:
“News is what a chap who doesn’t care much about anything wants to read. And it’s only news until he’s read it. After that it’s dead.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
