| | Warren E. Burger |  | For better or worse, editing is what editors are for; and editing is selection and choice of material. That editors-newspaper or broadcast-can and do abuse this power is beyond doubt, but that is no reason to deny the discretion Congress provided. |
| | Tim Cahill | | Editors, for the most part, don't care "what" you've done, or how astounding the physical event may have been. You need to write well. Many others are capable of doing what you have done (probably), so you must write better than they. . |
| | T. S. Eliot | | Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers. |
| | John Gardner | | One should fight like the devil the temptation to think well of editors. They are all, without exception - at least some of the time, incompetent or crazy. |
| | Jonah Goldberg | | Editors exist [because] most people don't have time to rummage through vast piles of hay for the specific needles they're looking for; we want professional needle-finders. |
| | Al Gore | | The Bush administration works closely with a network of rapid response digital brownshirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for 'undermining support for our troops.' |
| | Thomas Griffith | | Editors may think of themselves as dignified headwaiters in a well-run restaurant but more often they operate a snack bar and expect you to be grateful that at least they got the food to the table warm. |
| | Laurell K. Hamilton | | I have never had an editor ask me to explain anything more than was already down on the paper. I've done work for five major publishers, and countless editors, and it's never come up. |
| | Jaime Hernandez | | I've done stuff for the New Yorker. I've done record covers occasionally. I used to work for Hustler. It's a lot different, though, from what I do. You've got editors, so... My editors are just like, 'When's a new comic coming up?' - 'Uh, you'll get it soon!' |
| | Randall Jarrell | | He thinks that Schiller and St Paul were just two Partisan Review editors. |
