Carl Hiaasen Quotes About Satire

Quotes about: Satire

• Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because you're on the front lines.

  Carl Hiaasen

  Anger, Needs, World
