Born 98 years ago today.
Died in April 1965.
Resurrected last year in Good Night and Good Luck, a great movie.
Some quotes:
Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn’t mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.
Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation.
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.
The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.
Good night, and good luck.
