"[About the loss of The New York Times as an institution] I will say that I spent months mourning that. It is catastrophic. But there are things in history that have been more catastrophic. And that's the kind of perspective that I'm trying to keep. Because if I spend all day looking at the wreckage, and more than just looking at the wreckage trying desperately to try and shore up something that is so clearly rotten, I would spend my life in grief."
