Quotes by Michael Marshall (?)

“We're so used to events being portrayed in particular ways that when they actually happen to us, and our life bears no resemblance to expectation, we don't really know how we're supposed to respond. Our lives are unrecognizable to us. Should we still try to be happy, when everything seems so flawed and out of kilter and grey? How are we supposed to be content, when everything on television is so much better?”
― Michael Marshall, The Straw Men

“We’re so used to being edited, so infected with the sleight of hand of the media, that we’re more aware of what’s been added than of what has been taken away.”
― Michael Marshall, The Straw Men

“The food chain has victims at both ends: even rapists and murderers need someone to look down on, and kid killers will do nicely.”
