The Essayist
"I think I owe my success [as a journalist] to having listened respectfully
and rather bashfully to the very best advice, given by all the best journalists
who had achieved the best sort of success in journalism; and then going
away and doing the exact opposite. . . I have a notion that the real advice
I could give to a young journalist is simply this: to write an article for
the Sporting Times and one for the Church Times and put them in the wrong
envelopes. . . What is really the matter with almost every paper, is that
it is much too full of things suitable to the paper."
G.K. Chesterton
