Daily Inspiration Quote by Diane Sawyer

Curiosity is framed here not as a personality trait but as a discipline: the willingness to go looking for the one piece of reality that could embarrass your certainty. Sawyer’s line has the cadence of newsroom pragmatism, but the real move is moral. “Interesting” isn’t about novelty; it’s about the risk of revision. In a culture that treats conviction as charisma, she’s quietly arguing that the highest professional flex is reversibility.

The sentence structure does a lot of work. “Always to see if you can” repeats like a mental drill, making doubt sound active rather than indecisive. She doesn’t romanticize objectivity; she operationalizes it. Find a fact. Change your mind. Test and see. The verbs are physical, almost athletic, which matters coming from broadcast journalism, a realm often caricatured as performance. Sawyer positions good reporting as an adversarial relationship with your own assumptions, not just with your subject.

The subtext is a rebuke to two temptations: the confirmation bias that flatters us, and the brand logic that punishes inconsistency. “A fact that will change your mind” implies you should be hunting for disconfirming evidence, not just collecting ammunition. That’s a high bar in any era, but especially in the post-cable-news, post-social-media ecosystem where opinion is monetized and changing your mind is treated like betrayal.

Contextually, it’s a journalist’s creed for credibility: not neutrality as posture, but self-interrogation as method. The line works because it turns intellectual humility into something competitive, even thrilling - the chase for the fact that breaks your story open, including the story you tell yourself.
