Maureen Dowd Quotes

These are not grounds for impeachment. These are grounds for divorce Picture Quote #1

The Mormons even baptized Anne Frank. It took Ernest Michel, then chairman of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, three years to get Mormons to agree to stop proxy-baptizing Holocaust victims Picture Quote #1

The Obamas, especially Michelle, have radiated the sense that Americans do not appreciate what they sacrifice by living in a gilded cage. They’ve forgotten Rule No. 1 of politics: No one sheds tears for anyone lucky enough to live at the White House Picture Quote #1

Everybody is continuously connected to everybody else on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, on Reddit, e-mailing, texting, faster and faster, with the flood of information jeopardizing meaning. Everybody’s talking at once in a hypnotic, hyper din: the cocktail party from hell Picture Quote #1

Washington is a place where people have always been suspect of style and overt sexuality. Too much preening signals that you’re not up late studying cap-and-trade agreements Picture Quote #1

Afghanistan is more than the ‘graveyard of empires.’ It’s the mother of vicious circles Picture Quote #1

I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me Picture Quote #1

President Bush was once asked which Presidential speech he admired most. He replied that it was the one Teddy Roosevelt had in his pocket that had helped cushion the blow of a would-be assassin’s bullet Picture Quote #1

The Republicans, with their crazed Reagan fixation, are a last-gasp party, living posthumously, fighting battles on sex, race, immigration and public education long ago won by the other side. They’re trying to roll back the clock, but time is passing them by Picture Quote #1

Now that Hillary [Clinton] has won Pennsylvania, it will take a village to help Obama escape from the suffocating embrace of his rival. Certainly Howard Dean will be of no use steering her to the exit. It’s like Micronesia telling Russia to denuke Picture Quote #1

I feel like I owe it to the readers to try to pull back the veil and give them the honest version of what’s going on. But it’s not more fun. If Obama, as he does sometimes already, gets a little snippy with me about something I’ve written, you’re thinking, ‘Oh God, the president of the United States is already annoyed with me.’ Picture Quote #1

As blue chips turn into penny stocks, Wall Street seems less like a symbol of America’s macho capitalism and more like that famous Jane Austen character Mrs. Bennet, a flibbertigibbet always anxious about getting richer and her ‘poor nerves.’ Picture Quote #1

The insane have achieved political respectability while the sane act too good for it all. The irrational celebrate while the rational act bored and above-it-all Picture Quote #1

Reagan didn’t socialize with the press. He spent his evenings with Nancy, watching TV with dinner trays. But he knew that to transcend, you can’t condescend Picture Quote #1

Obama invented himself against all odds and repeated parental abandonment, and he worked hard to regiment his emotions. But now that can come across as imperviousness and inflexibility. He wants to run the agenda; he doesn’t want the agenda to run him. Once you become president, though, there’s no way to predict what your crises will be Picture Quote #1

If Americans are worried about money in politics, there is no larger concern than the Clintons, who are cosseted in a world where rich people endlessly scratch the backs of rich people Picture Quote #1

My eating habits were so bad for many years that I didn’t actually know the intricacies of making a salad Picture Quote #1

Why can’t Google, which likes to see itself as a ‘Don’t Be Evil’ benevolent force in society, just write us a big check for using our stories, so we can keep checks and balances alive and continue to provide the search engine with our stories? Picture Quote #1

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for Picture Quote #1

Digital platforms are worthless without content. They’re shiny sacks with bells and whistles, but without content, they’re empty sacks. It is not about pixels versus print. It is not about how you’re reading. It is about what you’re reading Picture Quote #1

Obama sees himself as such a huge change that he can be cautious about other societal changes. But what he doesn’t realize is that legalizing gay marriage is like electing a black president. Before you do it, it seems inconceivable. Once it’s done, you can’t remember what all the fuss was about Picture Quote #1

When you’re young, and even at times when you’re older, it’s hard to fathom this: What needs to be nurtured is the stuff that’s different, that sets you apart from the pack, rather than the stuff that helps you blend in Picture Quote #1

The guilty pleasure I miss most when I’m out slogging on the campaign trail is the chance to sprawl on the chaise and watch a vacuously spunky and generically sassy chick flick Picture Quote #1

The wound-tight, travel-light Obama has a distaste for the adversarial and the random. But if you stick too rigidly to a ‘No Drama’ rule in the White House, you risk keeping reality at bay. Presidencies are always about crisis management Picture Quote #1

Just because digital technology makes connecting possible doesn’t mean you’re actually reaching people Picture Quote #1

I’m into clothes, but in a way that’s related to wanting to walk into a film noir movie. You know, I love to go to vintage stores, but mostly it’s stuff that I don’t have anywhere to wear... I don’t have the life that goes with the clothes Picture Quote #1

It takes a lot of adrenaline and fear to make me actually write Picture Quote #1

If you’re famous enough, the rules don’t apply Picture Quote #1

Zingers should glow with intelligence as well as drip with contempt Picture Quote #1

Celebrity is the religion of our time Picture Quote #1
