Walter Lippmann Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: September 23, 1889 - December 14, 1974
Birthday: September 23
Death: December 14
I generalized rashly: That is what kills political writing, this absurd pretence that you are delivering a great utterance. You never do. You are just a puzzled man making notes about what you think. You are not building the Pantheon, then why act like a graven image? You are drawing sketches in the sand which the sea will wash away.
