Quote by Wynant Davis Hubbard

“One of the cardinal rules of journalism: Once you have cabled a story you must stick by it and back it up, unless something completely overwhelming proves you to have been wrong. In such a case, just drop the matter.”

“Speech itself, inevitable and unrelenting, is the wind. It can dance like a zephyr. It can roar shriek or wail. But it can't be stopped. Everything we hate about the media today was present at its creation: its corrupt or craven practitioners, its easy manipulation by the powerful, its capacity for propagating lies, its penchant for amplifying rage. Also present was everything we admire -- and require -- from the media: factual information, penetrating analysis, probing investigation, truth spoken to power. Same as it ever was.”

“On the borders of his world. That is where I find peace. In his embrace, I discovered a fortress of safety. No love is perfect, nor should it be. His darkness should defend me from my blinding light. While my brilliance shrouds his night. Love is a ghost, drifting where others can't glimpse its glow. It's truly a perilous predicament for both souls involved. It might be the death of the one of them. It can sculpt, assemble, and conjure; or it can shatter, decay, and dismantle.”
