anger collective country ours people
Ours is a country where anything can be accomplished if enough people get angry... because, in America, we act on our collective anger.
hero evil people
Evil is a matter of choice. Those people who have been victimized and refuse to imitate their oppressors are in my mind the greatest heroes we have.
kids bmw people
I don't understand people whose gratification is a BMW. You don't know what joy is until you see a kid who was tortured get adopted by a family.
giving-up people ugly
People who don't have much get ugly about giving up the little they have left.
hero people journalism
Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That's why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist.
ideas knowing people
I want to disabuse people of the idea that knowledge is power. Knowing how to get to Detroit is not the same thing as having the bus fare.
people pushing fabric
People are pushing against the fabric of society all the time.
thinking people journalism
I think people should be consumers of journalism.
people maps way
He said when the Lord made people He made them all the same for starters. But life marks people. If you know the way, you can read them like maps.
people lines vote
The Bowery station on the J line is what happens to a neighborhood once politicians realize the people who live there don't vote.
belief biology compelling conduct dna owe people picked related sweetest towards
The sweetest thing I could say about my mother and father is that if I had the choice, I would have picked them. But I don't have any belief in biology or DNA as compelling conduct. The idea that we owe people something because we're related to them is bizarre. But the idea that we owe something because of their conduct towards us is legitimate.
good screenplay works
Courier 12 is the Type-O blood of fonts - works just as good for a 'N.Y. Times' op-ed as a screenplay or a short story.
anyone change closer commonly fiction genre promoting social
Anyone who says, 'Books don't change anything,' or - more commonly - that crime fiction is the wrong genre for promoting social change - should take a closer look.
anyone fancy fine
I don't even use italics or boldface; that's clutter, not clarity. Fancy fonts are fine for blogs, just as calligraphy is fine for diaries. But when you're writing for anyone other than yourself, you want to get as universal as possible.
