Quote from Wilson in The Write Stuff
Randy: You know, Wilson, I've worked for two years at that paper trying to produce quality journalism. Wilson: Then Brad waltzes in and steals your thunder. Randy: Well, it's not so much that he stole my thunder, it's just what he stole it with. Wilson: Jock itch. Randy: You got it. Wilson: Randy, let me ask you something. If Brad had written a brilliant article, would you feel any differently? Randy: I might be a bit jealous, but at least I would've respected it. Wilson: You know, despite what anyone may think of Brad's article, it doesn't diminish the quality yours. You know, Robert Kennedy once said, "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope." Randy: Wilson, I'd like to believe that, but how do I keep pouring my heart into my writing if people are more interested in who's scratching where.
