Brooke Gladstone Quotes

“Speech itself, inevitable and unrelenting, is the wind. It can dance like a zephyr.
It can roar shriek or wail. But it can't be stopped.
Everything we hate about the media today was present at its creation: its corrupt or craven practitioners, its easy manipulation by the powerful, its capacity for propagating lies, its penchant for amplifying rage.
Also present was everything we admire -- and require -- from the media: factual information, penetrating analysis, probing investigation, truth spoken to power.
Same as it ever was.”
