Famous quotes containing the words editors and/or present:

    “The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people’s minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.”
    —Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865)
