Rick Perlstein
“But honesty was a dull blade to take into a knife fight with Richard Nixon -- who was simply willing to lie.”
Rick Perlstein, Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America

Guy Davenport
“Man, it would seem, does not evolve; he accumulates. (“Prehistoric Eyes”)”
Guy Davenport, The Geography of the Imagination: Forty Essays

John Green
“I find it interesting that even here, in the supposedly pure world of science, we feel the weight of historical forces pressing in upon discovery. Our desire to create outsiders, the competition for resources among communities that would be better off cooperating, and our long history of warfare all come together in this moment of discovery.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

Bob Woodward
“Over time, we all become committed to a version of the story of our lives. Simplification and repetition solidify the account, and we tend to stick with that identity. But that is old news.”
Bob Woodward, The Secret Man: The Story of Watergate's Deep Throat

Emmanuel Carrère
“Of course I was being sincere, but you can be sincere and be wrong, or in any case you can persuade yourself that you’re wrong as sincerely as you persuaded yourself to the contrary. “Nine Columns for an Italian Magazine”
Emmanuel Carrère, 97,196 Words: Essays
