New York was something like a circus performer walking a tightrope an juggling at the same time....It could barely maintain its position, but an movement would tip the whole balance.

Technology tends to fuel the imagination. People with a technological bent can get excited by sometimes the most hazardous technologies, if they think they can harness them safely.

We see political leaders replacing moral imperatives with a Southern strategy. We have seen all too clearly that there are men-now in power in this country-who do not respect dissent, who cannot cope with turmoil, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support repression as long as it is done with a quiet voice and a business suit. And it is up to us to prove that they are wrong.

New York has total depth in every area. Washington has only politics; after that, the second biggest thing is white marble.

Not only is New York City the nation's melting pot, it is also the casserole, the chafing dish and the charcoal grill.

Technology has to be accessible otherwise it enslaves us, and I'm not really in favour of that.

I'm definitely more interested in technologies that are more accessible, that are as accessible as possible.
