I grew up considerably, mostly thanks to him.  (Katharine Graham Quotes) In my first year or so at the ‘Post,’ I began to write with some frequency on the least important issues - so-called light editorials. The titles themselves are revealing of just how light: ‘On Being a Horse,’ ‘Brains and Beauty,’ ‘Mixed Drinks,’ ‘Lou Gehrig,’ and ‘Spotted Fever.’  (Katharine Graham Quotes) To me, involvement with news is absolutely inebriating. It’s what makes my life exciting.  (Katharine Graham Quotes) I always liked Barbara Howar and admired her spunk. I know that she considered me - and Alice Roosevelt Longworth - an exception to her negative feelings about Washington widows and single women, whom she basically found dispensable.  (Katharine Graham Quotes) The Montessori Method- learning by doing-once again became my stock in trade  (Katharine Graham Quotes) If one is rich and one’s a woman, one can be quite misunderstood  (Katharine Graham Quotes) Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact, power has no sex  (Katharine Graham Quotes) Democracy depends on information circulating freely in society  (Katharine Graham Quotes) Whatever power I exert is collegial  (Katharine Graham Quotes) Truth and news are not the same thing  (Katharine Graham Quotes) Some questions don’t have answers, which is a terribly difficult lesson to learn  (Katharine Graham Quotes) So few grown women like their lives  (Katharine Graham Quotes) Bromidic though it may sound, some questions don’t have answers, which is a terribly difficult lesson to learn  (Katharine Graham Quotes) To me, working is a form of sustenance, like food or water, and nearly as essential  (Katharine Graham Quotes) The power is to set the agenda. What we print and what we don’t print matter a lot  (Katharine Graham Quotes) I always thought if you worked hard enough and tried hard enough, things would work out. I was wrong  (Katharine Graham Quotes) What I essentially did was to put one foot in front of the other, shut my eyes and step off the ledge. The surprise was that I landed on my feet  (Katharine Graham Quotes) The thing women must do to rise to power is to redefine their femininity. Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact power has no sex  (Katharine Graham Quotes)
