Famous quotes containing the words nbc, nightly, news, brian and/or williams:

    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)

    If answerable style I can obtaine
    Of my Celestial Patroness, who deignes
    Her nightly visitation unimplor’d,
    And dictates to me slumbring, or inspires
    Easie my unpremeditated Verse:
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    [In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
    It’s ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].
    Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    The surprise is half the battle. Many things are half the battle, losing is half the battle. Let’s think about what’s the whole battle.
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner)

    Then he whirled about
    bounded
    into the air
    and with an entrechat
    perfectly achieved
    completed the figure.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
