Public service is a part of who I am, having grown up in a family of politicians.

The bureaucracy is not great. I don't think Rick Santorum who is not one for being a big proponent of large bureaucracies would be as enthusiastic a supporter of it.

Republicans believe largely in the market working, Democrats believe stereotypically that you've got to give people something. So why not give people a chance to let the market work for them.

I expect the Republicans will enjoy a large bounce out of their convention. They're here wrapping themselves in the 9/11 flag, which I think is inappropriate in many ways, but it's their choice.

I love New York, I love the smell of New York... I love the subway.

The U.S. economy and workers benefit from a strong, healthy relationship between government and business.

I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.

I refuse to do anything that would help Republicans win a Senate seat in New York, and give the Senate majority to the Republicans.

If you don't meet the standards, then you don't qualify.

To say that I am pro life is just wrong. I am personally pro-choice and legislatively pro-choice.

Some say I was disappointed when President Obama won, and that is absolute nonsense.

When you do things with love, it is a song of your heart.

The world forgetting by the world forgot.

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.

What is it to be a philosopher? Is it not to be prepared against events?

I am not a man, I am dynamite!

There are so many things that demand to be said. Where did you go? Do you ever think about me? You've ruined me. Are you okay? But of course, I can't say any of that.

Though mothers and fathers give us life, it is money alone which preserves it.

My iPod's unbelievable. Seriously. The kids have put most of the music on it but there's a complete mix of 80s rubbish and current day stuff.

It looks like a galosh with electronics in it.

... the truth is exactly that which can't be got into words. We are forced to lie, a little or, if we are inferior, much.
