What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying 'Oh our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence they haven't taken away the injustice the laws are still on the books.

Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.

Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary.

Jeffrey Deitch is the Jeff Koons of art dealers. Not because he's the biggest best or the richest of his kind. But because in some ways he's the weirdest (which is saying a lot when you're talking about the wonderful wicked lovable and annoying creatures known as art dealers).

Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid.

It is in this power of saying everything and yet saying nothing too plainly that the perfection of art consists.

The art of leadership is saying no not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.

To say that a work of art is good but incomprehensible to the majority of men is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.

Us investigators who went out into the field were faced on occasion with a lot of anger by people saying why has it taken you five or six year to come and see me?
