Famous quotes containing the word radio:

    “A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)

    “from above, thin squeaks of radio static,
    The captured fume of space foams in our ears—”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
    certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
    but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
    the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
    nevertheless, the radio broke,

    And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
    —Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
