“There's a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians' talking points, that's dangerously simple. I don't know a better way to say it.

“The right to discuss freely and openly, by speech, by the pen, by the press, all political questions, and to examine the animadvert upon all political institutions is a right so clear and certain, so interwoven with our other liberties, so necessary, in fact, to their existence, that without it we must fall into despotism and anarchy.” FactsPoliticalCertainFallExistenceLibertyClearSpeechConstitutionInstitutionsPressesPensAnarchyDespotismPolitical Institutions Author:William C.

“In time truth and science and nature will adapt themselves to art. Things will happen logically, and the villain be discomfited instead of being elected to the board of directors.

“I don't encourage any act of murder nor do I glorify in anybody's death, but I do think that when the white public uses its press to magnify the fact that there are the lives of white hostages at stake, they don't say "hostages," every paper says "white hostages."

“People who talk of the spread of music in England and the increasing love of it, rarely seem to know where the growth of the art is really strong and properly fostered: some day the press will awake to the fact, already known abroad and to some few of us in England, that the living centre of music in Great Britain is not London, but somewhere further North.” PeopleKnowsArtFactsSeemsStrongGrowthKnownArt IsEnglandPressesSpreadLondonAwakeBritainCentreGreat Britain Author:Edward Elgar

“Sven's actual results on the park were not quite good enough to make him a hero, and not quite bad enough to get him the sack, so he left the gentlemen of the press with something of a void. And they abhor a void. Soon the discovery that Sven was in fact a hammer-man of legendary proportions filled the void, until the media came to realise that Sven was that rare thing, a man whose astonishing success with women somehow didn't make him more interesting.” MenEnoughFactsLeftInterestingResultsMediaFootballHeroDiscoveryFilledPressesManagersSoccerGentlemanParksProportionGood EnoughRealisingVoidHammersAstonishingChairmanLegendaryRare Things Author:Declan Lynch
