"A newspaper is lumber made malleable. It is ink made into words and pictures. It is conceived, born, grows up and dies of old age in a day"
- Jim Bishop
About this Quote
This quote by Jim Bishop is a poetic summary of the life process of a paper. He compares the newspaper to lumber, which is a basic material that can be formed and also molded right into something helpful. He also contrasts the newspaper to ink, which is transformed into words and also photos. The newspaper is after that "developed" when the suggestion is very first produced, "birthed" when it is printed, "matures" as it is read as well as shared, and also "passes away of old age" when it is thrown out. This quote is a tip of the power of the written word as well as the effect that papers have actually had on culture. It also serves as a tip of the relevance of protecting the composed word and the stories that papers tell.
