Famous quotes containing the words local and/or news:
“While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
—Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
“‘What news, what news, my proud young porter,
What news, what news has thou brought to me?’”
—Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 57–58)
