More quotes by 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
Nature is cold, wet, hard and unforgiving.
David Remnick
From a personal point of view, I'd like to interview my great-grandparents because I barely knew them, and I know next to nothing about my family beyond 100 years.
David Remnick
I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.
David Remnick
Clearly independent journalists - domestic journalists - run a high risk if they dare to take on serious investigative work.

Capitalism in Russia has spawned far more Al Capones than Henry Fords.

Being nervous, first of all, puts you at a distinct disadvantage, and if you've really prepared and if you've really thought through how to start the conversation, things start to fall into place. There are other things I get nervous about, but not that.

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.

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.

Donald Trump lies with astonishing frequency and in stunning volume.
David Remnick
Every good journalist is aware that his trade may one day go the way of phrenology-and, what's more, the population will hardly protest the extinction.

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
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.

I understand the difference between journalism and scholarship that comes 20 years later.
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
Disaster can take a nation by surprise, slowly, and then all at once.
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.

You are losing because of Jewish bankers.

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.

I don't think there will be fascism in America, but we have to do everything we can to fight against it.
