1920s
- India broods the horror of the cold-blooded massacres by the Moplahs, still daily showing how Hindus fare in the hands of fanatical Mohammedans. The public, obscurely but rightly, connect the holocaust of Hindu lives and property with Khilafat preachers and realize that the rule even of the arrogant British is better than no rule.

2010s
- We have grounded our new editions in the qualities readers value most in Guardian journalism: clarity, in a world where facts should be sacred but are too often overlooked; imagination, in an age in which people yearn for new ideas and fresh alternatives to the way things are.
- Katharine Viner "Welcome to a new look for the Guardian", TheGuardian (15 January 2018).
- Viner was appointed editor-in-chief of The Guardian in 2015.
- We want the Guardian to play a leading role in reporting on the environmental catastrophe. [...] We will continue our longstanding record of powerful environmental reporting, which is known around the world for its quality and independence. [...] We will report on how environmental collapse is already affecting people around the world, including during natural disasters and extreme weather events. [...] We will use language that recognises the severity of the crisis we're in. [...]

- Nor can I say that the non-Conformist Conscience has never disappointed me. At one time it was the backbone of this country, nobly presented as it was in old days by the Manchester Guardian.

- Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
- "A Conflict Of Interest" (31 December 1987), by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, Yes, Prime Minister (BBC)
- We talk a lot about what's wrong with the US media. Everyone here has access to a better option, the UK-based Guardian, which has neither the timidities nor the right-leaning pretenses of neutrality; it stands proudly on its 203-year progressive history. Proud to write for it.
