Famous quotes containing the word cockburn:

    There is never finality in the display terminal’s screen, but an irresponsible whimsicality, as words, sentences, and paragraphs are negated at the touch of a key. The significance of the past, as expressed in the manuscript by a deleted word or an inserted correction, is annulled in idle gusts of electronic massacre.
    —Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)

    Nothing sets a person up more than having something turn out just the way it’s supposed to be, like falling into a Swiss snowdrift and seeing a big dog come up with a little cask of brandy round its neck.
    —Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
    —Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
