random quotes ... to amuse, inspire, enrage:
  [E]very time somebody opens their mouth they have an opportunity to do one of two things — connect or divide. Some people inherently divide, and some people inherently connect. Connecting is the most important thing, and actually an easy thing to do. I try to make a connection with someone every time I talk to them, even if I'm firing them. Because a connection can be made. People can be treated with respect. ... I'm shocked that there are so many people that live to divide. Whether it's to divide people from each other, or from themselves — but it is a constant in everything. Trying to make a connection with somebody. The fact is, you lose people when you do that. If you're going to make television of any continued standard, or live in the world like a decent person, you can't afford to do that. You know? You have to bring out the best in your people and see it when it's there and nurture it and laud it, which is something I often forget to do. "Tell that guy he's good!" "Well, I didn't fire him, so he must know hes good, right?" "No, Joss. It doesn't work that way."

judy miller, unreliable narrator

What the New York Times has not figured out yet is that Judith Miller is an extreme example of the unreliable narrator. She increases our doubt in the story as she tells it.

Priceless. [PressThink 10/21, link from sivacracy]
