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.

Eric Herzik

Stan Gundy

The hard part is, from the outside, the expectation is that it is going to be very easy, you're just going to roll out there with your talent, ...

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.

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

Even when Lincoln hanged draft dodgers, he made public his deviation from the law and imposed martial law. There is no analogy and no precedent for clandestine surveillance of domestic telecommunications without a court order.

Kids leave us and go off on their own lives. Family members tell us what they think of us. Animals can't do that. They really are blank canvases, and we can project anything we want onto them. So the relationship is very pure and simple.
