I have a social life. But I don't discuss it.
Ed Koch
We're in the hands of the state legislature and God, but at the moment, the state legislature has more to say than God.
Ed Koch
Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks.

Ed Koch
If I were running against Chuck Schumer. I would take every one of his Sunday press releases - and there are 52 for as many years as he's been there - and I would ask, 'How many of the things he said he was proposing became law?' I doubt many.
Ed Koch
You don't have to love them. You just have to respect their rights.
Ed Koch
To learn something new every day is still exciting!
Ed Koch
I know many writers who first dictate passages, then polish what they have dictated. I speak, then I polish - occasionally I do windows.
Ed Koch
I wake up every morning and say to myself, Well, I'm still in New York. Thank you, God.
Ed Koch
I probably have another two or three years. Or I can pass tomorrow, but it doesn't make a difference to me.
Ed Koch
There's a nastiness out there that wants to harm me with words. These are my enemies - the ideologues, the populists, the columnists who don't like the fact that I take them on toe-to-toe. What I try to do is tell the truth. It's not the coin of the realm in politics.
Ed Koch
The art of creation is older than the art of killing.
Ed Koch
If you seek violence, we will seek to put you in jail.
Ed Koch
