Quotes

• “Good night, and good luck.”
• “This program is not a place where personal opinion should be mixed up with ascertainable facts...It is not, I think, humanly possible for any reporter to be completely objective, for we are all to some degree prisoners of our education, travel, reading—the sum total of our experience.”
• “When the politicians complain that TV turns the proceedings into a circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well trained.”
• “No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.”
• “He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.”
• “Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices — just recognize them.”
