Nothing lasts. So it's my belief, yes, I know a lot of the things that we liked didn't last, but maybe things we don't like, they're also not going to last. There has been progress in my lifetime. There are certainly things that are better than when I was young, and there are things that are worse. New York City, it's worse. There's no question.

Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York.

So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here.

All style is personal - that's what distinguishes it from fashion.
Fran Lebowitz
Think before you speak. Read before you think. This will give you something to think about that you didn't make up yourself - a wise move at any age, but most especially at seventeen, when you are in the greatest danger of coming to annoying conclusions.
Fran Lebowitz
Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz
Television turned out to be exactly as bad as the most irritating and pedantic intellectuals of the '50s said it was going to be.

If you read a lot, nothing is as great as you've imagined. Venice is - Venice is better.
