Newspapers Quotes - BrainyQuote

We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy.

Eyring

Political, Been, Almost

Advice, Behind, Stuffing

1920s, Czechoslovakia

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers. William Tecumseh Sherman

Think, Understand, I Think

Been, Which, Loudly

Rivers, Polar, TV

I don't use names or captions for my many portraits of politicians and authors for newspapers. The drawing has to be self-explanatory, so I spend a lot of time sketching to find an idea and an angle that is clear. Siegfried Woldhek

Idea, Portraits, Use

The Fifties and Sixties were years of unreal optimism about weather forecasting. Newspapers and magazines were filled with hope for weather science, not just for prediction but for modification and control.

Hope, Optimism, About

One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid. James D. Watson

Stupid, Could, Scientist

Woman, Feet, Conservative

Game, Next, Discovered

For many years, it seemed as if nothing changed in Norway. You could leave the country for three months, travel the world, through coups d'etat, assassinations, famines, massacres and tsunamis, and come home to find that the only new thing in the newspapers was the crossword puzzle. Jo Nesbo

Country, Three, Through

People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news. A. J. Liebling

Love, Everybody, Some

The newspapers of the twenty-first century will give a mere 'stick' in the back pages to accounts of crime or political controversies, but will headline on the front pages the proclamation of a new scientific hypothesis. Nikola Tesla

New, Give, Will
