News Show

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or show:

    “Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”
    —Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)

    “The world of men show like a comedy without laughter: populations, interests, government, history; ‘t is all toy figures in a toy house.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
