Facet Quotes - page 2
The church and the whorehouse arrived in the Far West simultaneously. And each would have been horrified to think it was a different facet of the same thing. But surely they were both intended to accomplish the same thing: the singing, the devotion, the poetry of the churches took a man out of his bleakness for a time, and so did the brothels.
John Steinbeck
...it's important to remember though that when looking at these situations you
have to be able to see the difficulty anyone faces in a breakup and how hard
that experience is. No one want's to be alone...but sometimes in life...in order to
be healthy.. it is paramount to your happiness. I truly do appreciate all the
love and support you have all given me over the years in every facet of my life.
Andrew Biersack
Such commitment extends to the maintenance of the exclusive Jewish symbolism that Israel deploys, ranging from its Jewish flag and national anthem (which only speaks of Jews) to its ceremonial national days and the practices of institutionalized discrimination against its Arab non-Jewish citizens in every facet of life.

...I think a lot of professionals in this industry genuinely believe young people can't write, and others believe that if we've made it, it's only because our age is so shiny and interesting, and that alone is what pushes us through. I hesitate to say that it's been a complete barrier because for marginalized writers there are certainly other barriers that are a lot worse. But when it comes to age, I've seen agents openly declare they would never sign a college or high school student. I'm really happy to have an agent and editors who believe in me regardless of my age and furthermore take my age into account as just another facet of who I am as a person – like how other authors are full-time mothers/fathers/caregivers...

A journalist for the "Nation," Greg Mitchell, who has also written about us, wrote a book about the mainstream media called "So Wrong for So Long." And that title is basically it. Yes we have these heroic moments with Watergate and so on, but actually, come on, the press has never been very good. It has always been very bad. Fine journalists are an exception to the rule. When you are involved in something yourself, like I am with Wikileaks, and you know every facet of it, you look to see what is reported about it in the mainstream press and you see naked lie after naked lie. You know that the journalist knows it's a lie, it is not a simple mistake. Then people repeat lies and so on. The condition of the mainstream press nowadays is so appalling I don't think it can be reformed. I don't think that is possible. I think it has to be eliminated, and replaced with something better.
