• The press is going to have to learn anew that it's possible to work in an environment that is not so toxic and to readopt those kinds of techniques.

This administration has done systematically what no other administration had done. They came in with a corporate mentality, an ability to stay on script that was without parallel.

• In the great depression, things could only be set right by causing the idle plant to work again . . . Roosevelt . . . spent billions of public money and created a huge public debt, but by so doing he revived production and brought his country out of the depression. Businessmen, who in spite of such a sharp lesson continued to believe in old-fashioned economics, were infinitely shocked, and although Roosevelt saved them from ruin, they continued to curse him and to speak of him as 'the madman in the White House.' . . . [It's one more] striking example of inability to learn from experience.

  Bertrand Russell
