Quote

Art is not journalism. In art, you don't make it to convey a message.

Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world.

I always thought writing was the foundation and the basis for journalism in the same way being able to draw is the foundation for art.

Art is more engaging that propaganda.

Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.

Journalism is literature in a hurry.

People become writers in the first place by those things that hurt you into art, as Yeats said it. Then they become separated from what started out affecting them. Journalism forces you to look at the world so you don't get cut off.

Journalism is always the art of the incomplete. You get bits and pieces.

Journalism, as concerns collecting information, differs little if at all from intelligence work. In my judgment, a journalist's job is very interesting.
