Urna Quotes

A burro is an ass. A burrow is a hole in the ground. As a journalist you are expected to know the difference Picture Quote #1

If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist Picture Quote #1

But, as all scientists know, there is a time lag of 12 to 18 months between the time a manuscript is submitted and the time it is published in a scientific journal Picture Quote #1

If there were a 1:1 ratio of women and men in the chess world I would agree that all tournaments should be integrated. But a lot of women feel alienated at these mixed events, so it’s positive to have occasional all women’s events Picture Quote #1

Although they like to call themselves journalists, that’s a myth even they don’t really believe anymore. They’re mutts on short leashes Picture Quote #1

It should be apparent that the belief in objectivity in journalism, as in other professions, is not just a claim about what kind of knowledge is reliable. It is also a moral philosophy, a declaration of what kind of thinking one should engage in, in making moral decisions. It is, moreover, a political commitment, for it provides a guide to what groups one should acknowledge as relevant audiences for judging one’s own thoughts and acts Picture Quote #1

The carnal contact side by side, from heel to armpit, brings shudders that shake up nature like the flights of nocturnal birds Picture Quote #1

Journalism has become a sort of competitive screeching: what is trivial but noisy and immediate takes precedence over important matters that develop over time Picture Quote #1

I see myself as a journalist reporting neglected stories about our past and trying to bring rigor, reason and intuition to the quest Picture Quote #1

A journalist is the lookout on the bridge of the ship of state. He notes the passing sail, the little things of interest that dot the horizon in fine weather. He reports the drifting castaway whom the ship can save. He peers through fog and storm to give warning of dangers ahead. He is not thinking of his wages or of the profits of his owners. He is there to watch over the safety and the welfare of the people who trust him Picture Quote #1

What is photojournalism? Occasionally, a very unique photo, in which form is precise and rich enough and content has enough resonance, is sufficient in itself. But that’s rarely the case. The elements of a subject that speak to us are often scattered and can’t be captured in one photo; we don’t have the right to force them together, and to stage them would be cheating... which brings us to the need for photojournalism Picture Quote #1

We can look high or we can look low in books or in journals, but the result is the same. The scientific literature has no answers to the question of the origin of the immune system Picture Quote #1

Journalists have always written that my mum said that I punched a hole through my cot when I was three years old. I don’t remember doing that, and I think it was more that I was very energetic Picture Quote #1

Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice. We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story. What is bravery, and what is bravado? Journalists covering combat shoulder great responsibilities and face difficult choices. Sometimes they pay the ultimate price Picture Quote #1

My own habit had always been to write about the things that ticked me off in a given day. If I kept a journal at all, I kept it to vent Picture Quote #1

This idea of helping the next generation is a very intrinsic part of photojournalism. We need to continue to build this new group of photographers that come in and tell these stories Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a photographer, particularly a photojournalist, you want to learn about the world. You want to learn about yourself. And you want to find things that you genuinely care about, because that will be the source of your greatest work Picture Quote #1

In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it’s reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure Picture Quote #1

My faith is in my colleagues. And when I meet other writers, journalists, who’ve been doing this for a long time, trying to make us aware of what it is that we’re living in, I put my faith in those people Picture Quote #1

Critics? Don’t talk to me of critics! You think some jackanapes journalist, his soul eaten away by the maggots of jealousy and failure, has anything worthwhile to say of art? I don’t Picture Quote #1

It is not astonishing that there are many journalists who have become human failures and worthless men. Rather, it is astonishing that, despite all this, this very stratum includes such a great number of valuable and quite genuine men, a fact that outsiders would not so easily guess Picture Quote #1

Copywriters, journalists, mainstream authors, ghostwriters, bloggers and advertising creatives have as much right to think of themselves as good writers as academics, poets, or literary novelists Picture Quote #1

Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce Picture Quote #1

I’ve said what I’m prepared to say in my poems, and then journalists think that you’re going to tell them a whole lot more Picture Quote #1

I have respect for my fellow journalists at the other networks, and I wish them all well. This is a tough business, so good for them Picture Quote #1

I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist’s take is on something, and have a conversation with them more Picture Quote #1

The media has changed. We now give broadcast licenses to philosophies instead of people. People get confused and think there is no difference between news and entertainment. People who project themselves as journalists on television don’t know the first thing about journalism. They are just there stirring up a hockey game Picture Quote #1

I’m not making films for middle aged journalists, who are mostly men. I make films that hopefully entertain people, where they can learn something about life Picture Quote #1

Personally, as a print journalist, I always found the most interesting stories to be the ones hacks talked about in the bar after work Picture Quote #1

That’s always been my test for what makes a story: is this something journalists would gossip with each other about? Picture Quote #1
