pen is mightier than sword... but a bullet proves more fatal

"Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive 

while you're at it."   

Greeley, Horace

“Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. 

It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims 

of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.”

 Henry Anatole Grunwald

“Generally speaking, the best people nowadays go into journalism,
the second best into business, 

the rubbish into politics
and the shits into law”

 Auberon Waugh
