“The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
