More quotes by Bob Woodward
I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.
Bob Woodward
Deep Throat's information, and in my view, courage, allowed the newspaper to use what he knew and suspected.
Bob Woodward
People like to pigeonhole and say, Well, I'm a Washington insider, and you know, that's quite silly. What does that even mean?
Bob Woodward
The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
Bob Woodward
I think people are smart enough to sort it out. They know when they're watching one of these food fight shows where journalists sit around and yell and scream at each other, versus serious issue reporting.
Bob Woodward
Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don't love what you're doing, get off it.
Bob Woodward

Bob Woodward
Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.
Bob Woodward
They need to review this secret world. We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot.
Bob Woodward
If there's one thing that Trump does, he never quits.
Bob Woodward
...Obama said, 'I welcome debate among my team, but I won't tolerate division'.
Bob Woodward
Clinton feels a profound alienation from the Washington culture here, and I happen to agree with him.
Bob Woodward
Not a season passes without new disclosures showing Nixon's numerous attempts at criminal use of his presidential powers and in fact the scorn he held for the rule of law.
Bob Woodward
In Haig's presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.
Bob Woodward
Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.
Bob Woodward
There are people who take rumors and embellish them in a way that can be devastating. And this pollution has to be eradicated by people in our business as best we can.
Bob Woodward
There is a garbage culture out there, where we pour garbage on people. Then the pollsters run around and take a poll and say, do you smell anything?
Bob Woodward
I think the problem in the Republican Party is really not money. I think they've got lots of it. I think it is theory of the case - why are we here, what is our message, how to connect to the real world.
Bob Woodward
Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
Bob Woodward
The source known as Deep Throat provided a kind of road map through the scandal. His one consistent message was that the Watergate burglary was just the tip of the iceberg.
