We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
Capote, of course, addressed very similar themes to Good Night and Good Luck. Both films are about determined journalists defying obstacles in a relentless pursuit of the truth. Needless to say, both are period pieces.
We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men ...

With "Good Night, and Good Luck," I think it's kind of obvious what [Truman Capote]'s getting at there, and the importance of how it's playing out today, that is journalism doing, are the journalists doing their job, are they being the other checks and balances in our country that the way that obviously Edward R. Murrow was back then.
Night is longer than day for those who dream & day is longer than night for those who make their dreams comes true.
Good night, and good luck.
Default is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
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.
I sometimes think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late.

Good night and good luck.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
