“It occurred to me that nothing is more interesting than opinion when opinion is interesting, so I devised a method of cleaning off the page opposite the editorial, which became the most important in America and thereon I decided to print opinions, ignoring facts.” ImportantFactsAmericaInterestingOpinionPagesDecidedOppositesMethodPrintCleaningEditorialsIgnoring Facts Author:Herbert Bayard Swope
“Big banks churn out page after page of incomprehensible fine print to obscure the cost and risks of checking accounts, credit cards, mortgages and other financial products. The result is that consumers can't make direct product comparisons, markets aren't competitive, and costs are higher. If the playing field is leveled and the broken market fixed, a lot more money will stay in the pockets of millions of hard-working families. That's real stimulus - money to families, without increasing our national debt.” IfsRealHardBigsResultsMillionsRiskFieldsProductsHard WorkBrokenFineHigherCostPagesDirectAccountsFinancialCreditDebtCardsConsumersFixedPocketsComparisonPrintMore MoneyObscureStimulusMortgageCredit CardPlaying FieldsNational DebtFine PrintChecking Accounts Author:Elizabeth Warren

“I use a computer, but before I begin each new book I keep a notebook. I write down everything that comes to mind during that period before I actually begin. It might take months or weeks. That notebook is my security blanket so that I never have to face a blank screen (or blank page). But I print out often and my best ideas usually come with a pencil in my hand.” WritingMindBookIdeasUseHandsMightFacesWeekSecurityMonthsPeriodsComputerPagesScreensPrintBlankPencilsBlanketNotebookNew BooksBlank Pages Author:Judy Blume
“In the media, traditional media like print, we had boundaries. You know, we had spaces that ads didn't leave. They stayed where they were on the page. They didn't float around over the text. And we're kind of lost on the internet. We don't have any barriers. We have a demand for growth that is insistent.” KnowsKindLostGrowthSpaceMediaInternetDemandPagesBoundariesTraditionalBarriersPrintAdsFloats Author:Tim Wu
“It's critical to level the playing field, to make prices and risks clear up front, so when someone signs on for a student loan or a mortgage or a credit card, they know the tricks and traps hidden in the fine print. That's why the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been working on a new financial aid shopping sheet. A shorter, two-page credit card agreement, a simpler mortgage disclosure form. All those are aimed toward helping people understand the basic bargain.” PeopleKnowsHas BeensTwoHelpingFormLevelsClearRiskFrontsFieldsStudentsFinePagesFinancialCreditCriticalProtectionAidsTricksCardsConsumersAgreementPrintShoppingTrapsSheetsLoanHelping PeopleBargainsMortgageCredit CardPlaying FieldsDisclosureStudent LoanFine PrintFinancial Aid Author:Elizabeth Warren
“Books. They are lined up on shelves or stacked on a table. There they are wrapped up in there jackets, lines of neat print on nicely bound pages. They look like such orderly, static things. Then you, the reader come along. You open the book jacket, and it can be like opening the gates to an unknown city, or opening the lid of a treasure chest. You read the first word and you're off on a journy of exploration and discovery.” FirstsLooksBookLinesCitiesReaderPagesDiscoveryTablesBoundsTreasureOpeningGatesPrintExplorationChestsShelvesJacketsNeatStaticOrderlyTreasure Chests Author:David Almond

“It will be as if I'd never existed. The words ran through my head, lacking the perfect clarity of my hallucination last night. They were just words, soundless, like print on a page. Just words, but they ripped the hole wide open, and I stomped on the brake, knowing I should not drive while this incapacitated. I curled over, pressing my face against the steering wheel and trying to breathe without lungs.” IfsShouldTryingLastsFacesNightPerfectKnowingPagesWideBreatheHolesClarityRanWheelsPrintLackingLungsLast NightRippedHallucinationsBrakeSteering Author:Stephenie Meyer
“I love the book. I love the feel of a book in my hands, the compactness of it, the shape, the size. I love the feel of paper. The sound it makes when I turn a page. I love the beauty of print on paper, the patterns, the shapes, the fonts. I am astonished by the versatility and practicality of The Book. It is so simple. It is so fit for its purpose. It may give me mere content, but no e-reader will ever give me that sort of added pleasure.” GivingFeelsMayBookHandsPurposeTurnsSoundSimplePleasureReaderFitShapesPaperPagesGive MeMereSizePatternsPrintPracticalityVersatilityFonts Author:Susan Hill
