There is a growing literature about the multitude of journalism's problems, but most of it is concerned with the editorial side of the business, possibly because most people competent to write about journalism are not comfortable writing about finance.

A vision of truth which does not call upon us to get out of our armchair - why, this is the desideratum of mankind.

John Jay Chapman

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

Ben Hecht

Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.

Joe Frazier

It is amazing that something I did 23 years ago still has an audience that people respond to and I am touched and surprised that people are still very positive about.

Gil Gerard

Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith.

Eric Hoffer

I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically, so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously.

Laura Hillenbrand

The technology of the time dictated the way things looked.

Douglas Trumbull

To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Quality is earned long after midnight the night before a major launch, pouring over details that no one will notice but you.

Rob Rhyne

Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.

Manuel Puig

Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

Mark Twain

Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.

Henry David Thoreau
