I'm not the slowest writer that you know.
David Remnick
Clearly independent journalists - domestic journalists - run a high risk if they dare to take on serious investigative work.
David Remnick
I understand the difference between journalism and scholarship that comes 20 years later.
David Remnick
I know from my conversations with people in the administration that every world leader that Obama met in Berlin, in Peru, in Athens was extremely alarmed by Trump's election. That very much includes Angela Merkel.
David Remnick
I actually have great hopes for the future.
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
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.

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
I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.
David Remnick
My deep sense of alarm has to do with Donald Trump's seeming lack of fealty to constitutionalism.
David Remnick
I have to always remember, writing is really hard.
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
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
Nature is cold, wet, hard and unforgiving.
David Remnick
What I object to is tricking the reader and blurring the lines so that unsuspecting readers, thinking that they are getting something that is assigned and edited by the editorial side, are getting something quite different. They are getting an advertisement.
David Remnick
Capitalism in Russia has spawned far more Al Capones than Henry Fords.
David Remnick
I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.
David Remnick
Trump's election is part of an international trend that's no less alarming, in Britain, in France, in Germany, in Austria. Vladimir Putin wanted to see this outcome no less than he would like to see nationalists and anti-Europeanists win in France.
David Remnick
What about our refusal to look squarely at the degradation of the planet we inhabit? In the last election cycle many candidates refused even to acknowledge the hard science, irrefutable science, of climate change. The president, while readily accepting the facts, has done far too little to alter them. How long are we, are you, prepared to wait?
David Remnick
The minority vote is growing, which is part of the alarm of so many Republicans and why Trump constantly whipped up their alarm with his racist statements.
