More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.
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

Edward R. Murrow
People say conversation is a lost art how often I have wished it were.
Edward R. Murrow

Edward R. Murrow
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow
Our history will be what we make of it. If we go on as we are, then history will take its revenge and retribution will not limp in catching up with us. So, just once in a while let us exhault the importance of ideas and information.
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
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
If none of us ever read a book that was dangerous, had a friend who was different, or joined an organization that advocated change, we would all be the kind of people Joe McCarthy wants.
Edward R. Murrow
Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.
Edward R. Murrow
We cannot make good news out of bad practice.
