"There’s some fear involved in doing what you love. I get up every morning and I look at that fear and say to myself, ‘I’m doing what I love today,’ and that gets me through the day."

“I particularly detested, and detest, “the new journalism,” which began, I think, as a corruption of a form which originated in The New Yorker itself. After a genuine innovating tradition of great New Yorker reporters (A.J. Liebling, Joseph Mitchell, St. Clair McKelway, Lillian Ross, Wolcott Gibbs) who imparted to events a form and a personal touch that were truer to the events themselves than short, conventional journalism, determined by the structure of the daily news, had ever been, there sprang up almost everywhere the second growth of reporters who took up the personal and didn’t give a damn for events.”

- Renata Alder, 1969, introduction to “A Year in the Dark: Journal of a Film Critic 1968-1969

"The more closely we analyze what we consider ‘sexy,’ the more clearly we will understand that eroticism is the feeling of excitement we experience at finding another human being who shares our values and our sense of the meaning of existence."
