“A reporter is supposed to agitate against power, against privilege. Against the slimy wall of press releases and PR nothingspeak that has come to protect every major business and government boardroom ever since Watergate. A reporter is supposed to agitate against silence.”

“What if Mrs. Bondy had been my mother instead? What might I have inherited from her? Good things. Maybe I would have wanted to be like her instead of how it is with my mother — where everything I do is to try to not be like her. Which is basically the same as becoming her in a way, how a shadow of your hand is both your hand and its opposite.”
― Ainslie Hogarth, Motherthing
