I have learned as a journalist that if you look long enough and hard enough and carefully enough, most truths are discoverable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
I think it will be found that experience, the true source and foundation of all knowledge, invariably confirms its truth.
Truth is stranger than nonfiction. And life is too interesting to be left to journalists. People have stories, but journalists have 'takes,' and it's their takes that usually win out when the stories are too complicated or, as happens, not complicated enough.
If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
I always try to find the truth in a situation. That unvarnished, pure nugget of truth at the core of every issue that I write about.
I find myself believing everything that journalists tell me.
One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called 'The Truth'.
Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.
I think it's like everything else; one shouldn't dig too deeply. It's silly to say that with a journalist, but sometimes there is not a truth to be found.
