I like to make movies about how people actually live, realistically.
We know that no one should tell a woman she has to bear an unwanted child. We know that religious beliefs cannot define patriotism.
We're an ignorant nation right now. We're not really capable, I do not think, the majority of our people, of making the decisions that have to be made at election time and particularly in the selection of their legislatures and their Congress and the presidency, of course. I don't think we're bright enough to do the job that would preserve our democracy, our republic. I think we're in serious danger.
Not only do we have a right to know, we have a duty to know what our Government is doing in our name. If there's a criticism to be made today, it's that the press isn't doing enough to put the pressure on the government to provide information.
Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.
The profession of journalism ought to be about telling people what they need to know - not what they want to know.
The ethic of the journalist is to recognize one's prejudices, biases, and avoid getting them into print.
Jesus Christ left us an example for our daily conduct. He felt no bitter resentment and He held no grudge against anyone! Even those who crucified Him were forgiven while they were in the act. Not a word did He utter against them nor against the ones who stirred them up to destroy Him. How evil they all were. He knew better than any other man, but He maintained a charitable attitude toward them.
She's a rare vase, out of a cat's reach, on its shelf.
That accurst autobiographic form which puts a premium on the loose, the improvised, the cheap, and the easy.
A man who does not lick his lips, can he blame the harmattan for drying them?
