You know the worst thing is freedom. Freedom of any kind is the worst for creativity. You know, Dalí spent two months in jail in Spain, and these two months were the most enjoyable and happy in my life. Before my jail period, I was always nervous, anxious. I didn't know if I should make a drawing, or perhaps make a poem, or go to the movies or the theater, or catch a girl, or play with the boys. The people put me in jail, and my life became divine. Tremendous! View quote
Salvador Dalí

I know that many Irish-born New Yorkers are caught in the trap of our federal immigration policies.

View quote
Michael Bloomberg
It's really quite simple. Mr. Isinglass robbed my father, destroyed my mother, exiled my brothers, and ruined me. If I catch him asleep I'll kill him. I do hope you like this pudding. I had to ride quite a way to find the plums. (Larry McMurtry)

Then Fox News reports that it flew Osama bin Laden to Washington, D.C., and videotaped him touring the White House. View quote
