What we won't do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of "true scientific discourse." It isn't.

Two and two only supreme and luminously self-evident beings, myself and my Creator.

Broadway is a definite symbol of New York. It's classic New York.

If you fall asleep on horseback, the horse will stop by the rock. Art is a car. Kitsch is a horse.

Character: the grandest thing in the world.
