“A lawyer's empathy for her client deepens when she realizes that she has only seen the last couple of phases of his decline. How hard it must his initial adjustment have been to his loss of freedom?”
Ron Suskind, The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism

H.W. Brands
“Reporter Jacob Riis made it his mission to expose the horrors of poverty in New York. New to working with a camera, his flash actually set the walls of One apartment inhabited by five blind people on fire.”
H.W. Brands, American Colossus: The Triumph of Capitalism, 1865-1900
