Famous quotes containing the words big and/or shells:
“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)
“Sing there upon the beach
Till all’s beyond death’s reach,
And empty shells reply
That all things flourish.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
