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

Bob Woodward
Deep Throat's information, and in my view, courage, allowed the newspaper to use what he knew and suspected.
Bob Woodward
I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.
Bob Woodward
