“Waves of a serene life pass over us from time to time, like flakes of sunlight over the fields in cloudy weather.”

“Understand the difference between being at work and working.”

“Journalism should never be prostituted for selfish ends or for the sake of merely earning a livelihood or, worse still, for amassing money.”

“My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.”

“Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.”
