More quotes by Dan Rather
I can say with confidence I know a fair bit about LSD.
Dan Rather
Have you ever had any anger about President Bush - who spent his time during the Vietnam War in the National Guard - running, in effect, a campaign that does its best to diminish your service in Vietnam? You have to be at least irritated by that, or have you been?
Dan Rather
A lot of tight Senate races out there. Let's hit those chips with another dash of salsa, Ed Bradley.
Dan Rather
I'd much rather wear out than rust out.
Dan Rather

Dan Rather
Always marry a woman from Texas. No matter how tough things get, she's seen tougher.
Dan Rather

Dan Rather
These guys [the Catholic church] make Enron look like altar boys.
Dan Rather
It's the ratings, stupid, don't you know? They've got us putting more fuzz and wuzz on the air, cop-show stuff.
Dan Rather
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
Dan Rather
Start-ups like UniversityNow, a network of low-cost, online colleges, allows students to work at their own pace and pay a few hundred dollars a month for a degree.
Dan Rather
The Republican convention opens in New York to re-nominate George W. Bush and showcase the party's, quote, 'moderate side.' Will voters buy it?
Dan Rather
I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly.
Dan Rather
You'd better do what you feel good about doing. If we [try] to figure out what it is the audience wants and then try to deliver it to them, we're lost souls on the ghost ship forever.
Dan Rather
I have tried to remain a working, cutting-edge journalist and I don't do it the way everybody else does it. And I think that's the difference.
