I'm still friendly with Dean. He still calls me on the phone from time to time. John Dean was fired and later ended up spending some time in prison for his role in Watergate.
Fred F. Fielding

If the many allegations made to this date are true, then the burglars who broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate were, in effect, breaking into the home of every citizen.
Sam Ervin

It I talked about Watergate, I was described as struggling to free myself from the morass. If I did not talk about Watergate, I was accused of being out of touch with reality.
Richard M. Nixon

It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.
Bob Woodward

Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.
Bob Woodward

Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.
Bob Woodward

Suppose Watergate had not been uncovered? I'd still be on the City Desk.
Bob Woodward

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam.
J. G. Ballard

The biggest rap on me is that I don't find a Watergate every couple of years. Well, Watergate was unique. It's not something Carl Bernstein, I, or the Washington Post caused.
Bob Woodward

The crusades of Vietnam and Watergate seemed like a good idea at the time, even a noble one, not only to the press but perhaps to a majority of Americans.
Howard Fineman

The fact of the Watergate cover-up is not nearly as interesting as the step into making the cover-up. And when you understand the step, you understand that Richard Nixon lied. That he was a criminal.
Bob Woodward

The French were mystified about the Watergate scandal.
Pierre Salinger

The government paid the family of Richard Nixon $18 million for papers, tape recordings and other materials seized after Watergate.
Dexter S. King

The influences in my life were all kind of politically, socially implanted. And then there was Watergate.
Tobe Hooper

The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents to by-pass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election.
Gerald R. Ford

The source known as Deep Throat provided a kind of road map through the scandal. His one consistent message was that the Watergate burglary was just the tip of the iceberg.
Bob Woodward

The Watergate reforms did work well for many years, and if improved and broadened, these reforms can have real and major impact on the system today.
Elliot Richardson

There have been as many investigative reporters on this newspaper working on Clinton's many problems as I can remember there were working on Watergate.
Ben Bradlee

There may yet be another Watergate book. I have thought a book about the aftermath of Watergate and its impact could be done, perhaps by me or someone else.
Bob Woodward

This story, I predict, will grow to be worse than Watergate. The American people need to have the answers.
