Jon Ronson

Famous quotes by Jon Ronson:

"No. Spiritual is the wrong word. He's occultic. He's like a walking embodiment of death. He can stop you at a distance. He can influence physical events just with his mind. If he catches your attention he can stop you without touching you."

"In April 2001, Bert Rodriguez took on a new student. His name was Ziad Jarrah. Ziad just turned up at the US 1 Fitness Center one day and said he had heard that Bert was good. Why Ziad chose Bert, of all the martial arts instructors scattered around the Florida shoreline, is a matter of speculation. Maybe Bert's uniquely occultic reputation preceded him, or perhaps it was Bert's military connections. Plus, Bert had once taught the head of security for a Saudi prince. Maybe that was it."

"I was always out to paint them with human characteristics we could relate to. They really are, by and large, personable in the flesh."

"When David says that 12-foot blood-drinking child-sacrificing pedophile lizards secretly rule the world, he really is referring to lizards."

"I certainly believe the Weavers were utterly innocent, were a threat to nobody, and if you can't believe crazy things on top of a mountain in Idaho, where can you believe crazy things?"

"[There was the Arkansas Klansman Thom Robb, for example, who couldn't quite figure out where he fit in.] He wanted to give the Klan an image makeover, by banning the robes and the hoods and the 'N word' -- as he always called it ... and hatred in general, ... even though his members were always sidling up to him and whispering, 'Uh, Thom, we kind of joined the Klan because we wanted to hate people.'"

"[Rachel, in particular,] was wise beyond her years, ... I think that if Rachel had been raised in North London, she'd be going to Starbucks and studying at art school and voting for Tony Blair."

"They said, 'Come on, who would you rather have living next to you? The crazy white-separatist Weavers or a family of respected FBI agents?' ... The only answer I could come up with was, 'Whichever one plays their music quieter.'"

"Obviously, I like to write stories that are page-turners. But I always try my very, very hardest to be as factually true as possible."

"Trying to solve the mystery is what I enjoy most about writing."

"I wasn't in any way a kind of soothsayer or not surprised when Sept. 11 happened. I was absolutely shocked."

"Success is always less funny than failure."
