Robert GreeneThere was as big a reaction after the revelations about Assad's chemical weapons. Nevertheless, that photograph did strike a singular chord.

Dean KoontzThe first victim in journalism today is proximity. I know I've used that word a lot. Because of foreign budgets, newspapers have consolidated, and journalists now cover dozens of countries at a time. It is physically not possible for one person to understand and live the unique sets of experiences in all these places in honest and meaningful ways. Outlets used to send journalists to places like Congo for months at a time, and they were stationed there for months or years. There was a sense of immersive reporting, and that has been a casualty of the shift in news over the past years.

The more worlds they take in, these unique worlds, the more they can become. We need to teach them to trust others again, because we're all frightened to death of each other.

David SedarisMy space chums think my unique hookup with humanity could be evolution's awkward attempt to jump-start itself up again.

The cerebral cortex trying to grow a thumb of sorts.
