I’ve always hated the danger part of climbing, and it’s great to come down again because it’s safe.

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.

Journalism largely consists of saying ‚Lord Jones is Dead‘ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

I became a journalist at 17. A few hours later, I saw my first dead body, which was somewhat… colourful. That’s when I learned you can go on throwing up after you run out of things to throw up.

The purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.

I think I’ve got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn’t read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

In too much of the West, everyone wants the guarantee of safety, and never having to make any decisions.

You will always have partial points of view, and you’ll always have the story behind the story that hasn’t come out yet. And any form of journalism you’re involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge.

It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.

We’ve got to dumb America up again.

What if others suffer shipwreck, yet none that sail with Jesus have ever been stranded yet.

Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.

Precaution is better than cure.

Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.

Truthfully, without over-egging it, as I often do, the library and journalism, those things made me who I am.

Here’s what I think about music and journalism: The most important thing is to just press play.

Superman don’t need no seat belt.

In 2013, the week before I dropped ‚Crenshaw,‘ ‚Complex‘ wrote an article that said that Nipsey Hussle is one of the top 25 underperforming artists. I was so offended that I responded with my own opinion about these journalists – their point of view is not validated in our culture.

A safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds.
