More quotes by David Remnick
Russian is such a tough and complex language that I am happy enough to understand everything and read most things pretty well, but, without constant practice, my speech is not what I wish it was, and I would sooner write in crayon than write a letter in Russian.
David Remnick
A huge constituency, such as Hispanics, is not 100 percent Democratic.
David Remnick
I actually have great hopes for the future.
David Remnick
Donald Trump lies with astonishing frequency and in stunning volume.
David Remnick
There are two forms of populism, left-wing populism and right-wing populism. Right-wing populism requires the denigration of an Other. Left-wing populism tends to be about the haves and have-nots.
David Remnick
Nature is cold, wet, hard and unforgiving.
David Remnick
I'm not the slowest writer that you know.
David Remnick
I would like to see Russia not invade Ukraine or put pressure on and threaten Baltic states. But we live in the real and existing world.
David Remnick
I live in a country where, at least by my sense of arithmetic and justice, Al Gore should have been president, not George W. Bush. To this day, John Kerry probably thinks he won Ohio in 2004 because he had suspicions about the vote in Ohio. And, by the way, Richard Nixon had suspicions in 1960 about the vote in Chicago when he lost to JFK.
David Remnick
As journalists, we need to find every avenue to distribute our work, and try to be so good that we become increasingly more influential than before.
David Remnick
The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.
David Remnick
I've never encountered someone in public life who has less desire to hold office than Michelle Obama, though she is incredibly gifted at retail politics.
David Remnick
There is no single field of activity, not a single institution, free of the most brutal sort of corruption. Russia has bred a world-class mafia.
David Remnick
You are losing because of Jewish bankers.
David Remnick
I have to always remember, writing is really hard.
David Remnick
Donald Trump appoints people of low quality, to say the least.
David Remnick
I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.
David Remnick
I got in journalism for any number of reasons, not least because it's so much fun. Journalism should be in the business of putting pressure on power, finding out the truth, of shining a light on injustice, of, when appropriate, being amusing and entertaining - it's a complicated and varied beast, journalism.
David Remnick
Being an editor it's a complicated job, but the last impression I'd want anybody to have is that it's onerous. It's a joy - a complicated joy, but a joy.
David Remnick
I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.
