Famous quotes by Robert Caro:

"Herman Brown was a businessman who wanted value for money spent. His relationships with politicians were measured by that criterion."

"The moment the curtain rose on that first ballet, I knew something wonderful and new had come into my life. I can still see the first scene. The ballet was Divertimento No. 15."

"I used to work very long hours. Then I started to realize that the stuff that I was writing in the late afternoons, I was generally throwing out. So I quit earlier than I used to."

"If it's coming near the end of a chapter and I'm really getting into it, I tend to get up earlier and earlier, just because I'm excited to get to work."

"I deliberately made an effort not to become an expert on the ballet."

"Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery."

"At the ballet, you really feel like you're in the presence of something outside the rest of your life. Higher than the rest of your life."

"I like new ballets because they're totally new. As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it's pretty great to have a new experience."

"Nobody believes this, but I write very fast."

"I think President Obama has done more than he is given credit for."

"I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it."

"You know, we're taught that in a democracy power comes from being elected."

"I trained myself to be organized."

"The right of a minority is so important in a democracy."

"When you have enough power to do what you always wanted to do, then you see what the guy always wanted to do."

"Now, for this book I had to learn the world of the Senate, which is really for all that's written about the Senate, an unknowing world and its mores, and the way things work with subcommittees and all. I loved learning about that."

"There's a real feeling when you know you're getting it right. It's a physical feeling."

"The Senate is an unknowing world."

"I finish what I have to do in the office."
