Jail Quotes
[Luther could have solved this for us by coming out, but I can't hate on him too much for his silence. As I've said before, artists get moral allowances the rest of us don't. Their art is their get-out-of-jail-free card.] Luther's only politics... were music and love: He lived for the love of music and believed resolutely in the power of music to heal by affirming love. In that sense, Luther was an ethicist who taught any of us who would listen as much about love as did James Baldwin or Marlon Riggs or Marianne Williamson any other seer for whom Love with a capital L is the ultimate act.

That's the new element in this. And what it did, it caused me to become even more secretive about sources, and to protect them. I couldn't do my job if I couldn't protect them. And to really make sure that I don't become part of this process, but not to be less aggressive in reporting the news.
- Bob Woodward
