That is New York. I pointed to the waterfront just ahead as if the city were mine.

Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.

A talent for drama is not a talent for writing, but is an ability to articulate human relationships.

Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.

Andy Warhol is the only genius I've ever known with an I.Q. of 60.

If most men and women were forced to rely upon physical charm to attract lovers, their sexual lives would be not only meager but in a youth-worshiping country like America, painfully brief.

The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.

From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.

The four most beautiful words in our common language: I told you so.
