पत्रकारों के प्रति और उन्हें अपना काम करने के लिए जो मेहनत करनी पड़ती है, उसके प्रति मेरे मन में सम्मान अब कई गुना बढ़ गया है। जब मैं बेहतरीन पत्रकारिता देखता हूँ, तो उसके प्रति मेरा विस्मय और आदर भाव बढ़ जाता है, और जब मैं खराब पत्रकारिता या पत्रकारिता के नाम पर परोसे जा रहे कचरे को देखता हूँ, तो मैं उसकी कड़ी आलोचना करता हूँ।

I have so much more compassion for journalists and the work that they have to do, in order to do the jobs that they have to do. I am much more in awe of and am celebratory of great journalism when I see it, and I'm much more critical of bad journalism, or crap masquerading as journalism.

प्रेस की जानकारी गंभीर जानकारी होती है, लेकिन प्रेस की जानकारी उन लोगों द्वारा भी तोड़ी-मरोड़ी जाती है जो चाहते हैं कि आप यह समझें कि अमुक घटना घटी है। तो यह वही पुराना सच है कि आप फोटोग्राफी पर बिल्कुल भी भरोसा नहीं कर सकते या फिर आपको यह पता होना चाहिए कि उस तस्वीर को जारी कौन कर रहा है। जहाँ तक सेलफोन फोटोग्राफी की बात है, मुझे लगता है कि अब तस्वीरों की कोई परवाह नहीं करता क्योंकि लोग सिर्फ मजे के लिए इतनी सारी तस्वीरें खींच रहे हैं।

Press information is serious information, but press information is also manipulated by people who want you to think that this and that happened. So it's the old thing that you still cannot trust photography at all or you have to know who is distributing the photograph. In terms of cell phone photography, I think nobody cares about a photograph anymore because they're taking so many pictures just for fun.

तस्वीरें आज भी हमेशा एक चित्रण ही होती हैं, बस फर्क यह है कि मेरी पीढ़ी के लिए फोटोग्राफी का पैमाना शायद अब हकीकत नहीं, बल्कि उस हकीकत के बारे में हमारे अपने मन में बसी छवियां हैं।

I believe that photography can only reproduce the surface of things. The same applies to a portrait. I take photographs of people the same way I would take photographs of a plaster bust.

आप पूरी दुनिया को एक तस्वीर में नहीं समेट सकते। फोटोग्राफी एक भ्रम पैदा करती है। कैमरे के सामने जो कुछ है आप वह सब देख सकते हैं, लेकिन उसके आस-पास हमेशा कुछ न कुछ ऐसा होता है जो फ्रेम से बाहर होता है।

You cannot explain the whole world in one photograph. Photography pretends. You can see everything that's in front of the camera, but there's always something beside it.

[सूक्ष्मदर्शी] के साक्ष्यों को आम जनता के सामने आसानी से पेश नहीं किया जा सकता। माइक्रोस्कोप से जो दिखाई देता है, वह केवल उस उपकरण और चट्टान के टुकड़े पर ही निर्भर नहीं करता, बल्कि देखने वाले की आँख के पीछे उसके दिमाग पर भी निर्भर करता है। हम में से हर कोई अपने पिछले अध्ययन के अनुभवों के आधार पर ही किसी चीज़ को देखता है। इसलिए एक अनुभवी व्यक्ति किसी नौसिखिए को अपनी आँखों से नहीं दिखा सकता, और जो बात एक को पूरी तरह आश्वस्त कर देती है, वह दूसरे को शायद ही प्रभावित करे। भूवैज्ञानिक इस बात को हमेशा ठीक से समझ नहीं पाते हैं।

[Microscopic] evidence cannot be presented ad populum. What is seen with the microscope depends not only upon the instrument and the rock-section, but also upon the brain behind the eye of the observer. Each of us looks at a section with the accumulated experience of his past study. Hence the veteran cannot make the novice see with his eyes; so that what carries conviction to the one may make no appeal to the other. This fact does not always seem to be sufficiently recognized by geologists at large.

[आधुनिक विज्ञान] ने अनिश्चितता और अनिर्णायक प्रयोगों के एक लंबे दौर का सामना किया, लेकिन जैसे-जैसे शोध के लिए वैज्ञानिक उपकरण बेहतर होते गए और अवलोकन के नतीजे जमा होते गए, वैसे-वैसे कल्पना के भ्रम दूर हो गए, पूर्वाग्रहों की दीवारें ढह गईं, तार्किक विश्लेषण के लिए भरोसेमंद सामग्रियाँ मिलने लगीं, और लंबी व सावधानीपूर्वक जाँच-पड़ताल के बाद परिकल्पनाएँ (हाइपोथिसिस) सिद्धांतों में बदल गईं।

[Modern science] passed through a long period of uncertainty and inconclusive experiment, but as the instrumental aids to research improved, and the results of observation accumulated, phantoms of the imagination were exorcised, idols of the cave were shattered, trustworthy materials were obtained for logical treatment, and hypotheses by long and careful trial were converted into theories.

कुछ लोग इस बात से भी इंकार करते हैं कि पृथ्वी ब्रह्मांड के केंद्र में है, और कुछ का यह मानना है कि यह गतिशील है, जैसा कि कॉपरनिकस ने एक परल्पना के रूप में कहा था, न कि इसलिए कि वह वास्तव में ऐसा सोचते थे; उनका कहना था कि पृथ्वी घूमती है और सूर्य ब्रह्मांड के केंद्र में स्थिर रहता है, और इसी झूठी कल्पना की मदद से उन्होंने आकाशीय ग्रहों की गति और चक्करों के ऐसे सटीक प्रमाण दिए जो पहले कभी नहीं दिए गए थे। . . .

Some also deny that the earth is in the middest of the world, and some affirme that it is mouable, as also Copernicus by way of supposition, and not for that he thought so in deede: who affirmeth that the earth turneth about, and that the sunne standeth still in the midst of the heauens, by help of which false supposition he hath made truer demonstrations of the motions and reuolutions of the celestiall Spheares, than euer were made before. . . .
