Ground Wires

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or wires:

    If there were one who lived wholly without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate to demand it of him. But the rich man—not to make any invidious comparison—is always sold to the institution which makes him rich.... Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Putting people in a room and strapping wires to their wrist to find out if I make them tingle when I’m telling them about Beirut is a long way from Edward R. Murrow.
    Linda Ellerbee (b. 1932)
