David Nasaw Quotes

The Biographer Is Often Asked At The Conclusion Of His Project Whether He Has Grown To Like Or Dislike His Subject. The Answer Of Course Is Both. But The Question Is Misplaced. This Biographer's Greatest Fear Was Not That He Might Come To Admire Or Disapprove Of His Subject, But That He Might End Up Enervated By Years Of Research Into Another Man's Life And Times. That Was, Fortunately, Never The Case. The Highest Praise I Can Offer Andrew Carnegie Is To Profess That, After These Many Years Of Research And Writing, I Find Him One Of The Most Fascinating Men I Have Encountered, A Man Who Was Many Things In His Long Life, But Never Boring.
