Quotes by John Dickerson  (?)

“We want our movies instantly. We order our groceries at lunchtime and expect them to arrive in time for dinner. We punch up cars to deliver us to our whims. The largest companies in America, from Amazon to Uber to Facebook, want to fill the air with buzzing drones dropping from the skies whatever you want and more of it. Manna is now always on the delivery menu.”
John Dickerson, The Hardest Job in the World: The American Presidency

“We have gone from holding the door out of courtesy to standing before it out of obliviousness.”
John Dickerson

“By January 2020, about 1,095 days into his administration, the number of false or misleading claims made by President Trump reached 16,241 ... He told outright lies, repeated lies even after having been fact-checked repeatedly, and made up stories when the truth would do. He lied about little things and he lied about the most important issues a president must handle. He took credit for things he had nothing to do with and denied involvement in matters he orchestrated. To list the individual examples would fill the next twenty pages. Even the president's supporters admit this.”
John Dickerson, The Hardest Job in the World: The American Presidency

Anthony Ryan, Blood Song

“Going to the game seemed like being on the inside of the most important secret in the world.”
