Maybe Santa Claus is real. Here's the problem: reality.

I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.

Journalism, some huge percentage of it, should be devoted to putting pressure on power, on nonsense, on chicanery of all kinds and if that's going to invite a lawsuit, well, bring it on.

Nature is cold, wet, hard and unforgiving.

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.

100% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first - and the other 2% are lying.100

The Communist Party apparatus was the most gigantic mafia the world has ever known.

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.

We should put pressure on power and write the truth and write relentlessly and fearlessly. That's the job.

I would also like to see Russia not interfere in our elections.

I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.

Be kind to all living things. Nature notices everything.

You don't always have to chop with the sword of truth. You can point with it too.

All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.

This secret-keeping business was not for me.

Marvel always make it fresh so you can give it your personal twist.

We said we'd walk together baby come what may.That come the twilight should we lose our way.If as we're walkin a hand should slip free,I'll wait for you And should I fall behind,Wait for me.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Success in battle is not a function of how many show up, but who they are.

That sort of reception - where everything is assimilated to the world of celebrity - makes me dream of becoming a more recalcitrant, harder to assimilate writer.
