"No place epitomizes the American experience and the American spirit more than New York City." ― Michael Bloomberg Topic(s): Experience More From Michael Bloomberg "I’m trying to change the culture in New York City; that’s hard enough!" "Well, we have to provide the world’s best schools. We certainly don’t have them, but that’s our objective." "We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That’s life. And it’s part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001." More In Experience "But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience."― Richard Dawkins "It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience, having gone through persona changes like that, that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be."― David Bowie "The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know."― John Frusciante
