"We are recording symptoms [...] of a society that is sick or well, or flourishing in one part of its body and pining in another. So that the process of describing leads us eventually to an intellectual responsibility–the responsibility out of many symptoms to make a diagnosis."
"It is not by chance that some of the most trenchant criticisms of the operations of modern democracy have come from the most distinguished members of my profession, and not without an overtone of bitterness and alarm." - Dorothy Thompson
"Journalism shuts nothing out from its scope of interest. It invites its followers not to mind their own business, but to attend to the business of man as he lives in this time and in whatever place on this globe." - Dorothy Thompson
“The voices of the Mothers would be raised above the present battle of ideologies in behalf of one eternal truth, recognized in every religion and every human soul: that peace lies in doing unto others exactly as you would have others do unto you.” Dorothy Thompson, 1951
"Under the American system there is no such thing as the 'Head of the Nation.' The President of the United States is not the 'Head of the Nation.' The Constitution does not provide for presidium government." ~Dorothy Thompson

Of the American voices that spoke up against Nazism, journalist Dorothy Thompson’s was among the loudest and clearest. She witnessed Hitler’s rise first-hand and worked relentlessly to expose “the terror east of the Rhine.”
