We should sell them to our worst enemies, the Russians and the Cubans.
Ed Koch
Life is indeed precious, and I believe the death penalty helps affirm this fact.
Ed Koch
You don't have to love them. You just have to respect their rights.
Ed Koch
...what about the millions of poor in this country who desperately need assistance and services to help bring them out of poverty? Shall they go to the back of the line? and shall those who have made a dramatic illegal entry, who would normally not be entitled to government assistance, or even entry itself, be put at the front?
Ed Koch
I have a social life. But I don't discuss it.
Ed Koch
I happen to believe that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. It’s whatever God made you. It happens that I’m heterosexual, but I don’t care about that. I do care about protecting the rights of 10 percent of our population who are homosexual and who don’t have the ability to protect their rights.
Ed Koch
I don't believe that in our society that we should have guns.
Ed Koch
The most guileful amongst the reporters are those who appear friendly and smile and seem to be supportive. They are the ones who will seek to gut you on every occasion.
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
The fireworks begin today. Each diploma is a lighted match. Each one of you is a fuse.
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
I don't want to leave Manhattan, even when I'm gone.
Ed Koch
Have you ever lived in the suburbs? It's sterile. It's nothing. It's wasting your life.
Ed Koch
It is not possible to remake the world. You can fix parts, but you can't remake the world.
Ed Koch
I want to come back as me.
Ed Koch
I was born at the age of twelve on a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot.
Ed Koch
In a neighborhood, as in life, a clean bandage is much, much better than a raw or festering wound.
Ed Koch
If you don't like the President, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don't like the governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don't like me - 90 cents.
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
I said, to be a New Yorker you have to live here for six months, and if at the end of the six months you find you walk faster, talk faster, think faster, you're a New Yorker.
