Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.

It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquillity and occupation which give happiness.

Thomas Jefferson

I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.

Martin Short

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure.

Alvin Adams

They are much to be pitied who have not been given a taste for nature early in life.

Jane Austen

There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you're faced with somebody whose needs won't be put off.

Angela Carter

The focus of tolerance education is to deal with the concept of equality and fairness. We need to establish confidence with children that there is more goodness than horror in this world.

Morris Dees

Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.

Sherwood Eddy

Pessimists are not boring. Pessimists are right. Pessimists are superfluous.

Elias Canetti

We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.

Tim Berners-Lee

Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.

Henri CartierBresson

The world gets grimy and the love object is in stark relief from its surroundings. This is love, a pretty thing on an ugly street and why wouldn't you pick it up if it appeared in a taxi cab.

Daniel Handler

You all know the argument from design: everything in the world is made just so that we can manage to live in the world, and if the world was ever so little different, we could not manage to live in it. That is the argument from design. It sometimes takes a rather curious form; for instance, it is argued that rabbits have white tails in order to be easy to shoot. I do not know how rabbits would view that application.

Bertrand Russell
