Press

Famous quotes containing the word press:

“[I] delivered the Introduction of it to Baldwin, that I might say my book was at if not in the press on New Year’s Day.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)

“The press is, almost without exception, corrupt.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
