Stumbled Onto This Quote

As millions of Americans at last see a path to affordable, lifesaving health care, despite imperfect bodies labelled as preexisting conditions or damaged goods like some dented car eyesore in a parking lot full of shiny new automobiles -- and the right wing busies itself penning vitriolic comments below any blog post or video that tries to light a candle to sharing or caring, I stumbled onto this quote:

"I believe in the writer as a witness to evil, as a reporter of injustice, as a chronicler of human compassion, even on occasion of greatness, as one whose skills illuminate the Truth with a capital T, without irony. I believe it is the job of the writer to put into words what is worst - and also what is best - about us. To light up our possibilities, discover the finest lives to which we can aspire, and to inspire our readers to greatness of soul and heart."
