Famous Quotes & Sayings

Hunter S. Thompson

Gonzo journalism is a style of ''reporting'' based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism -- and the best journalists have always known this. True gonzo reporting needs the talents of a master journalist, the eye of an artist/photographer and the heavy balls of an actor. Because the writer must be a participant in the scene, while he's writing it -- or at least taping it, or even sketching it. Or all three. Probably the closest analogy to the ideal would be a film director/producer who writes his own scripts, does his own camera work and somehow manages to film himself in action, as the protagonist or at least a main character.

We have a lot of good individual players, but that is not going to be enough.

Gary Ames

A good analogy would be that I don't know any customer who wants their vehicle built in their driveway and rained on for nine months before they get a chance to sit in it. Moisture is the largest enemy of construction. Once moisture gets into the material, it starts to shrink and mold even before it goes to production.

Mike Eaves

You could use the analogy that tonight was what the doctor ordered. The outcome, the game itself, was like a B-12 shot. We're feeling better.

The closest Indian analogy to the position of black Americans is that of the Dalits - formerly called 'Untouchables,' the outcastes who for millennia suffered humiliating discrimination and oppression.

Akio Toyoda

Trouble results when the speed of growth exceeds the speed of nurturing human resources. To use the analogy of growth rings in a tree, when unusually rapid growth caused the rings to grow abnormally thick, the tree trunk weakens and is easily broken.

Philip Russell

You can't sing about the same things as you did when you were 20; it would be ridiculous to sing about, I don't know, being in the quad. You can't really write about mortgage payments or stuff like that... but you can talk about 'let's make the world a better place.'
