I found today in an old notebook this inspiring quote from the brave 1980 Nobel Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004), anI I started to think in some many silent and boring newspaper news meetings:
“In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.”
Oh, boy, we need to shoot more.
