Popular Death Reporters

Famous quotes containing the words popular, death and/or reporters:

    All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    for it is not so much to know the self
    as to know it as it is known
    by galaxy and cedar cone,
    as if birth had never found it

    and death could never end it:
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    Now he is a statesman, when what he really wants is to be what most reporters are, adult delinquents.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
