“Sometimes, I genuinely enjoy having conversations with journalists; enjoying the few moments of intimacy with a stranger is fascinating to me. But once in a while that backfires and you're suddenly reading something that has a bent on it that you didn't feel was in the least bit a part of the conversation that you thought you were having. Then you get overly protective and say very little and then you come out of the hole again.” FeelsLittlesSometimesMomentsReadingBitsEnjoyConversationStrangerHolesIntimacyJournalistFascinatingBentProtectiveBackfire Author:Gillian Anderson
“[I]n contrast to the common belief that they are the world's greatest cynics, the best journalists are the world's great idealists. They have experienced firsthand the great soothing balance of human existence. For every disgrace there is triumph, for every wrong there is a moment of justice, for every funeral a wedding, for every obituary a birth announcement.” WorldHumansMomentsBeliefJusticeCommonExistenceBirthBalanceTriumphJournalistFuneralContrastDisgraceGreat IdeaHuman ExistenceSoothingIdealistAnnouncementsObituary Author:Anna Quindlen
