Alice Bernstein

Famous quotes containing the words alice and/or bernstein:

    “Would you—be good enough—” Alice panted out, after running a little further, “to stop a minute—just to get—one’s breath again?”
    “I’m good enough,” the King said, “only I’m not strong enough. You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick. You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.
    —Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
