More quotes by David Brooks
One of the things this world is finding is that emotion is the basis of reason. We really have to trust our emotions, which are much smarter than our reason in some ways.
David Brooks
It is especially painful when narcissists suffer memory loss because they are losing parts of the person they love most.
David Brooks
I happen to think most people go into government do it for the right reasons and they really do things as they see them on the merits of the issues.

Putin is someone who has been undermining the norms of what we consider the world order since he got into power and in increasing success.
David Brooks
The idea that Russia felt emboldened and apparently fearless to go into our election and manipulate our own election process, whether successfully or not, is a sign that they are outside the norms of normal society.
David Brooks
I don't blame the Democrats for fighting. They have got a very energized base. And there is a lot to complain about a lot of these nominees. But I think, if you are actually going to turn someone down from a president's [Donald Trump] own Cabinet, it better be a lot more egregious than the cases we have seen.
David Brooks
Russia has a very sophisticated, advanced attack on U.S. businesses and U.S. government and U.S. institutions. And it's not like Donald Trump is going to be walking away from this. He will be spending a lot of time on it, if he's any sort of normal president.
David Brooks
Donald Trump's being authentic to what he ran on and what got elected.
David Brooks
The idea that when you correct a fact, you erase that fact from people's memories is the reverse of the truth. When you correct a fact, what you do is you further lodge that fact into people's minds, and they remember the error.

Britain is blessed with a functioning political culture. It is dominated by people who live in London and who have often known each other since prep school. This makes it gossipy and often incestuous.
David Brooks
The people who really have character make deep, unshakable connections to something outside themselves.
David Brooks
The idea that a big country is going to go out and send troops into some country to take their resources, and then the rest of the world is going to somehow trust us is just a ridiculous notion.
David Brooks
Our system is not only based on rules, but a series of self-restraints that we won't be as barbaric as we could be in competing for power because we know if we're all barbaric as we could be, the whole country and the whole society falls apart.
David Brooks
Maybe you're willing to tolerate a lot of bigotry from Donald Trump if you say, just change things, just change things.
David Brooks
Every White House I have covered since Reagan, when I got here, power has been more concentrated in the White House than the one before.
David Brooks
I want to try to make big films that hopefully connect with people.
David Brooks
I don't think history will ever be a science because history will never be reduced to law-like behavior. People are to unpredictable.
David Brooks
Plunder is morally wrong. It ruins your credibility.
David Brooks
Trump has picked the more extreme versions of all Republicans so far, the more aggressive. And I think the thing to watch out for is, I could totally paint a scenario where Trump runs an authoritarian regime. I can totally paint a scenario where he has no control over his own government.

The ugliness can sometimes be super ugly, but also a warning sign of something down below.
