Animals speak with pure affection. It's important to me to get something going in NY so we can get to be a no-kill city, and give the animals homes and more attention and love.

I'd rather be hissed at for a good verse, than applauded for a bad one.

Victor Hugo

No person was every rightly understood until they had been first regarded with a certain feeling, not of tolerance, but of sympathy.

Thomas Carlyle

People called '28 Days' and '28 Weeks' zombie movies, and they're not! It's some sort of virus they're not dead.

George A. Romero

I'm a person that just likes to speak the truth, and I don't understand why in America it's such a big deal that we won't read the Koran and we won't look at history.

Pat Robertson

Nikita Khrushchev

A good reputation is more valuable than money.

Publilius Syrus

Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own if it doesn't, the thing collapses.

Arnold Newman

Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.

Charles Lamb

Mark Hatfield
