Commentary Quotes (page 2)

I had a longing for ritual, something I could cling to, a routine to make me feel well and contented. I hoped that reading Bible commentaries and theological critiques would nudge me closer to some kind of absolute that I could hold up as a torch to light my way. Jack Dee
Roger Stone quote: "If you're not controversial, you'll never break through the..."
If you're not controversial, you'll never break through the din of all the commentary. Roger Stone
The BBC provides the commentary on our lives, the soundtrack of the nation. It is one of the most powerful unifying forces in the United Kingdom today. Gavyn Davies
I get most of my news from the Jon Stewart Daily Show. It's the most level commentary you can find. You have to laugh, because it's all so true. It's the closest thing to a counterculture. John Mayall
Charles Dance quote: "We had five goats, two dogs, a cat and racks of commentaries..."
We had five goats, two dogs, a cat and racks of commentaries on Shakespeare. Charles Dance

Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it. It should have information, should have some history, should have something that's offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That's my ideal. Bob Costas
Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s), I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts. Camille Paglia
One of the sad commentaries on the way women are viewed in our society is that we have to fit one category. I have never felt that I had to be in one category. Faye Wattleton
Frank Zappa quote: "Music is always a commentary on society."
Music is always a commentary on society. Frank Zappa
Murray Walker quote: "I'm in my usual state up here in the commentary box: high..."
I'm in my usual state up here in the commentary box: high tension, heart beating like a trip hammer, whatever that is. Murray Walker
The caricature of what George Osborne is doing on the fiscal side is absurd. If you read some of the commentary, particularly from the left, you would think he was turning the clock back to the 1930s. Nick Clegg
