All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.

Without these tourists, New York would be fantastic. I don't want them to come. Stay home!
Fran Lebowitz
The thing you love right away, don't do it, because that's the very thing that's going to be your addiction for the rest of your life.

...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.

Polite conversation is rarely either.

Contrary to popular opinion, the hustle is not a new dance step - it is an old business procedure.

I do not think everyone is created equal. In fact, I know they're not. [The Constitution] means that everyone should have the same laws as everyone else. It doesn't mean that everyone's as smart or as cute or as lucky as everyone else.

I love being in love. I don't think anything compares with it, though I consider it very disruptive.

Even when America is not working that well, it still works better than other places.

I had to go on TV with the president of the Catholic League, which is not an official organization at all, just a lot of Catholics, or maybe it's just this guy.

There's too much democracy in the culture, not enough in the society.

Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York. If you were going to turn a city, which is a place where people live, into a tourist attraction, you're going to have to make it a place that people who don't live here, like. So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here.

I wouldn't say that I dislike the young. I'm simply not a fan of naïveté.
