Famous quotes containing the words move to, move, nbc and/or news:

    America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    And knew that nature could not more refine
    What it had given in a looking-glass
    And held there, after the living body’s line
    Has moved wherever it must move ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “... I’ll talk to you, old woman, afterward.
    I’ve got some news that maybe isn’t news.
    What are they trying to do to me, these two?”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
