“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”

“A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.”
