I actually have great hopes for the future.

I understand the difference between journalism and scholarship that comes 20 years later.

I'm not the slowest writer that you know.

I'm a civilian, a citizen.

98% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first - and the other 2% are lying.

Most magazines have peak moments. They live on, they do just okay, or they die. 'The New Yorker' has had a very different kind of existence.

Reform is not a period of retreat.

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

You know what writers say about their long books: If I had another year, the book would be half as long.

I have to always remember, writing is really hard.
