"There is no point in me worrying about what Bloomberg or Badillo will do."

-- David Dinkins

“Congress, our leaders, voted against a proposal to have a national seven day waiting period to buy a gun. I don't want to sound like a Quaker, but when you think about it, is a week a long time to wait? To see if a former mental patient is qualified to own an Uzi? Con one, will ya Congress? It takes three weeks to get a phone!”
“There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.”
“I was delighted to not go to university. I couldn't wait to be out of education.”
“I believe that if Mohammed, Buddha, Jesus, and Moses all got together they would be best of friends because the spiritual basis of all religions is something that builds unity.”
“Travel is one of the best anti-war weapons that there are. I've been to Iran, and if you're there you see little kids, cops, old people, cemeteries. Once you see that, you can't say, 'Oh, Iran, let's bomb them.'”
“The only one who can make you give up is yourself.”
“I think people are just really disappointed, disappointed with Blair as well, who's just like Bush's lapdog. I think everyone's just disillusioned with politics in our country, and it must be the same in your country.”
“True knights protect the weak.â€ He snorted. â€œThere are no true knights, no more than there are gods. If you canâ€™t protect yourself, die and get out of the way of those who can. Sharp steel and strong arms rule this world, donâ€™t ever believe any different.â€ Sansa backed away from him. â€œYouâ€™re awful.â€ â€œIâ€™m honest. Itâ€™s the world thatâ€™s awful.”
