“Lists of books we reread and books we can't finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves.”
“And I'm hoping that fair-minded people will stand up and say that what's been done to me is wrong, and that-that people's personal lives have no impact on their ability to be a journalist, you know. Why should my past prevent me from having a future?”
