Famous quotes containing the words broadcast and/or history:

    “Adjoining a refreshment stand ... is a small frame ice house ... with a whitewashed advertisement on its brown front stating, simply, “Ice. Glory to Jesus.” The proprietor of the establishment is a religious man who has seized the opportunity to broadcast his business and his faith at the same time.”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
