More quotes by Dan Rather
Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
By more than two to one Americans do not consider what Kevorkian did, injecting a terminally ill patient with legal drugs at the patient's request, to be the same as murder. You may want to note that laws are not supposed to be enforced on the basis of public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you.
Dan Rather
Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder.
Dan Rather
I quote the late Ed Murow. ... He said: 'Look, people listen to me when they want an eyewitness account. 'They think I'm a pretty good reporter. But when it comes to my opinions, mine are not worth anymore than the guy at the end of the bar.' And I believe that about myself.
Dan Rather
Music is important. It says things you heart can't say any other way, and in a language everyone speaks. Music crosses borders, turns smiles into frowns, and vice versa. These observations are shared with a hope: that, when schools cut back on music classes, they really think about what they're doing - and don't take music for granted.
Dan Rather
In dealing with the press, do yourself a favor, stick with one of three responses: (a) I know and I can tell you (b) I know and I can't tell you (c) I don't know.
Dan Rather
I can say with confidence I know a fair bit about LSD.
Dan Rather
If frogs had side pockets, they'd carry hand guns.
Dan Rather
Always marry a woman from Texas. No matter how tough things get, she's seen tougher.
Dan Rather
I'm all news, all the time. Full power, tall tower. I want to break in when news breaks out. That's my agenda. Now, respectfully, when you start talking about a liberal agenda and all the, quote, 'liberal bias' in the media, I quite frankly, and I say this respectfully but candidly to you, I don't know what you're talking about.
Dan Rather
Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.
Dan Rather
I was really lucky to work at CBS news. I was blessed to be able to live my dream in many ways at CBS news.
Dan Rather
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
Dan Rather
I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly.
Dan Rather
Editing can alter the original meaning and context, and computers can alter the image itself. The camera can also be manipulated. At the very least, it must be turned in one direction - only one direction at a time ... Who chooses what direction to point the camera, and why?
Dan Rather
Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.
Dan Rather
Never eat spinach just before going on the air.
Dan Rather
I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
Dan Rather
And now the sequence of events in no particular order.
