More quotes by Edward R. Murrow

Edward R. Murrow
A blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts ... the body language of a man wishing urgently to be elsewhere.
Edward R. Murrow
In order to progress, radio need only go backward, to the time when singing commercials were not allowed on news reports, when there was no middle commercial on a news report, when radio was rather proud, alert and fast.
Edward R. Murrow
We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
Edward R. Murrow
We are in the same tent as the clowns and the freaks - that's show business.
Edward R. Murrow
A satellite has no conscience.
Edward R. Murrow
Don't be deluded into believing that the titular heads of the networks control what appears on their networks. They all have better taste.
Edward R. Murrow
Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.
Edward R. Murrow
Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.
