Famous quotes containing the word columns:

    “A few more days, and this essay will follow the Defensio Populi to the dust and silence of the upper shelf.... For a month or two it will occupy a few minutes of chat in every drawing-room, and a few columns in every magazine; and it will then ... be withdrawn, to make room for the forthcoming novelties.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “We are a race of tit-men, and soar but little higher in our intellectual flights than the columns of the daily paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Rage is the only quality which has kept me, or anybody I have ever studied, writing columns for newspapers.”
    —Jimmy Breslin (b. 1929)
