More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
People say conversation is a lost art how often I have wished it were.
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
Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
Edward R. Murrow
The real crucial link in the international exchange is the last three feet, which is bridged by personal contact, one person talking to another.
Edward R. Murrow
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow
I would like television to produce some itching pills rather than this endless outpouring of tranquilizers.
Edward R. Murrow
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Edward R. Murrow
We are in the same tent as the clowns and the freaks - that's show business.
Edward R. Murrow
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.
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
It has always seemed to me the real art in this business is not so much moving information or guidance or policy five or 10,000 miles. That is an electronic problem. The real art is to move it the last three feet in face to face conversation.
Edward R. Murrow
One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles.
Edward R. Murrow
We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
Edward R. Murrow
I am frightened by the imbalance, the constant striving to reach the largest possible audience for everything by the absence of a sustained study of the state of the nation.
Edward R. Murrow
I have always been on the side of the heretics, against those who burned them, because the heretics so often turned out to be right....Dead, but right.
Edward R. Murrow
Seldom, if ever, has a war ended leaving the victors with such a sense of uncertainty and fear, with such a realization that the future is obscure and that survival is not assured.
Edward R. Murrow
We're not descended from fearful men - not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.
Edward R. Murrow
Most of them [American politicians] are men of undoubted charm, ability, and incredible energy, and yet too often they lack purpose or appetite for anything beyond their own careers. With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved.
Edward R. Murrow
It appeared that most of the men and boys had died of starvation they had not been executed. But the manner of death seemed unimportant. Murder had been done at Buchenwald. God alone knows how many men and boys have died there during the last twelve years.
Edward R. Murrow
A blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts ... the body language of a man wishing urgently to be elsewhere.
