“Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world.”
Archibald MacLeish
“Maybe the weirdest thing in the world is the feeling when you feel sad and it feels like years although it was just mere seconds but when you feel happy and you want to stay there forever cuz you say it's too short although it was longer than you think it is”

“To separate journalism and poetry, therefore-history and poetry-to set them up at opposite ends of the world of discourse, is to separate seeing from the feel of seeing, emotion from the acting of emotion, knowledge from the realization of knowledge.”
“I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.”
Tom Stoppard
“Poetry is the journal of a sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air”
Carl Sandburg
“I became a journalist to come as close as possible to the heart of the world.”
Henry R. Luce
“Most journalists are restless voyeurs who see the warts on the world, the imperfections in people and places. gloom is their game, the spectacle their passion, normality their nemesis.”
Gay Talese
