Famous quotes containing the words print and/or journalists:
“What do I care
that the stream is trampled,

“The journalists think that they cannot say too much in favor of such improvements in husbandry; it is a safe theme, like piety; but as for the beauty of one of these model farms, I would as lief see a patent churn and a man turning it. They are, commonly, places merely where somebody is making money, it may be counterfeiting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
