Famous quotes containing the words big and/or stone:
“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)
“Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
