Text Quotes
Art doesn’t spring from the muses alone, but from hard work  (Tom Rachman Quotes) I went to the University of Toronto to study the history and theory of film, in the back of my mind thinking I’d go to NYU film school and see if I could make a career of it  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Obituaries were among my favorite to write because they have elements no other news stories have - a story from start to finish with a proper conclusion.  (Tom Rachman Quotes) My own career started in New York at the ‘Associated Press’, a fast-paced news agency where we rarely had time for deep reporting.  (Tom Rachman Quotes) I don’t like most contemporary art. But I think if you talked to any person who’s heavily involved in contemporary art, they’d say the same thing. If you go to a biennale, you don’t expect to like much of it.  (Tom Rachman Quotes) My parents used to rent old movies - my whole childhood is in black and white - and it was my dream to make films.  (Tom Rachman Quotes) I went to the University of Toronto to study the history and theory of film, in the back of my mind thinking I’d go to NYU film school and see if I could make a career of it.  (Tom Rachman Quotes) What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It’s like expanding its territory.  (Tom Rachman Quotes) The question I ask myself is what would have happened if newspapers hadn’t initially given their content away for free on the Internet. It’s so hard to get people to pay once they are accustomed to having something for free  (Tom Rachman Quotes) During my past career as a journalist, I relished writing obits and equally dreaded phoning relatives for the necessary facts. But to my surprise and great relief, they often wanted to talk - they wanted their recently deceased loved ones recorded in print  (Tom Rachman Quotes) A common defense among obituary-fanciers such as myself is that the obit is not about death at all. It is about life. This is true since an article about the condition of deadness would make for turgid reading at best  (Tom Rachman Quotes) You know, there’s that silly saying ‘We’re born alone and we die alone’ -it’s nonsense. We’re surrounded at birth and surrounded at death. It is in between that we’re alone  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Obituaries were among my favorite to write because they have elements no other news stories have - a story from start to finish with a proper conclusion  (Tom Rachman Quotes) There are journalists who are drawn to the most extroverted, aggressive jobs because they get an ego high from it. It can be shocking to encounter them and even worse to work with them  (Tom Rachman Quotes) When I left Toronto and entered journalism in the late 1990s, I had many notions about the news business, nearly all of them wrong, as it turned out  (Tom Rachman Quotes) My parents used to rent old movies - my whole childhood is in black and white - and it was my dream to make films  (Tom Rachman Quotes) My own career started in New York at the ‘Associated Press’, a fast-paced news agency where we rarely had time for deep reporting  (Tom Rachman Quotes) I hadn’t been a particularly precocious reader, but everybody else in my family was  (Tom Rachman Quotes) What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It’s like expanding its territory  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Remembering is the most overrated thing. Forgetting is far superior  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Our worst fear isn’t the end of life but the end of memories  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Anything that’s worth anything is complicated  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Journalists who are devoted to strictly factual reporting take particular pleasure from satirical news outlets that have the liberty to laugh and even mock the hypocrisy that reporters and editors must simply observe without comment  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Many things embarrass me, but reading isn’t one of them. I’m not ashamed of my slightly weird collection of prison memoirs. Nor the flaky meditation books. After all, I can pretend I never read those  (Tom Rachman Quotes) The training of a journalist, of working with words for thousands of hours, is extraordinarily useful for a fiction writer  (Tom Rachman Quotes) Basically, financial reporting is this sinking hole at the centre of journalism. You start by swimming around it until finally, reluctantly, you can’t fight the pull anymore and you get sucked down the drain into the biz pages  (Tom Rachman Quotes)
