Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
Dorothy Thompson Quotes

About
Dorothy Thompson was born in Lancaster, New York. She was an American journalist and radio broadcaster, who in 1939 was recognized by Time magazine as the second most influential woman in America next to Eleanor Roosevelt. She is notable as the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany in 1934 and as one of the few women news commentators on radio during the 1930s. She is regarded by some as the "First Lady of American Journalism." She studied politics and economics and graduated with a degree in 1914.
