“She was a large presence in everyone’s life, even if you didn’t have much interaction with her… I think it’s best illustrated by her candor and willingness to push. For instance, after Nixon resigned, and we got a personal letter from Katherine… that said ‘Dear Carl and Bob, now that Nixon has resigned, you did some of the stories… Don’t start thinking of yourself too highly and let me give you some advice.’ And the advice is beware of the demon pomposity.” - Bob Woodward
“The best example during all of our reporting of Katherine was there had been a day when a subpoena server, The guard at the desk downstairs called up to me and said ‘There’s a subpoena server here with a subpoena for all your notes.’ And I said well keep them downstairs, don’t let them up to the newsroom. And I went to Ben Bradlee… [he] says ‘I’m gonna go see Katherine… and he comes back down maybe five minutes later, and he says, ‘Katherine says they’re not your notes, they’re her notes, and if anybody’s going to go to jail, it’s going to be her.’” - Carl Bernstein
