'Reporting the universe'

'I report and observe what I see going on.  What I experience and what I see others experiencing.  It’s a strange place, it’s a wonderful place, it’s a normal place, it’s a terrible place, and it’s not a place.  It’s a state.
 
I’m ‘reporting the universe’  You can do it, too.  I mean, someone has to do it.
 
“The writer…believes all that can be thought can be written….  In their eyes a human being is the faculty of reporting, and the universe is the possibility of being reported.” 
 
-Emerson, cited in Doctorow, Reporting the Universe (Harvard, 2003, p. 1, edited)'
