More quotes by Gene Weingarten
You should support Israel not because it is Jewish but because it is a sane, secular democracy. You want Lebanon to be at peace. You don't care much about Kuwait.

I don't think I could ever love someone with whom I fundamentally disagreed, politically.
Gene Weingarten
My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.

The one thing an aspiring writer must understand is that it's hard. If you think it's not hard, you're not doing it right.
Gene Weingarten
The total wall is between editorial and newsroom. And unbreachable barrier. For good reason. It doesn't mean the two sides don't talk.

Donald Trump is an awful loser.

Ask creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing. From the inside, creativity seems like an arduous task, often involving plebeian, imperfect choices, driven less by inspiration than by deadline.
Gene Weingarten
I'll smoke anything. I won't spend a lot of money on cigars, because I consider that too self indulgent. $3, max, except for special occasions. And yes, I do know the difference.
Gene Weingarten
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.
Gene Weingarten
I really value unforgettable moments. Things you can tell people about. We have too few of them in our lives, and it is all too seldom that we can create one such moment for a stranger.
Gene Weingarten
It is a cliche, and it is also true, that humor springs from existential pain - from a need to blunt the awareness that life is essentially a fatal disease of unpredictable symptoms and unknown duration.
Gene Weingarten
I need an irony punctuation mark for the clueless.
Gene Weingarten
Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin, and the most nationalistic / patriotic country in the last 300 years was Germany during the Third Reich.
Gene Weingarten
The advent of DNA testing, and the number of convictions thrown out, has confirmed that we've put LOTS of innocent people to death. There need not be any other argument against death penalty.
