Quote du Jour: George Soros
This one is from an old post of Ethan Zuckerman's that I happened to chance upon this evening. Apparently, Ethan was at an OSI meeting to discuss challenges faced by newspapers today. This was George Soros' parting shot, apparently, and it's a classic.
“Journalists and prostitutes face the same challege: competition from amateurs.”This is right up there with Atanu's tale about George Soros at the Pan-IIT meet in Bombay. Apparently, George Soros was asked by a well-meaning IIT-ian/ex-IITian, "Sir, how does one become a philanthropist?" George Soros replied, "Get Rich First." Exactly.
