Michael R. Bloomberg People Quotations

New Yorkers remember when we were in trouble ... people from the country and around the world rushed to help, ... We won't forget that; we will do the same thing if we can possibly be helpful down there.

I don't know what goes on on ships, ... I can tell you exactly what goes on on the streets of New York City. You are safe. People are nice. It is exciting. It is easy to get around. We have rooms reserved for every member of Congress and for every delegate.

Look, there is a fine line here between freedom of expression and going out and encouraging people to hurt this city. Defacing subway cars is hardly a joke.

Last night was just a typical New York event. -- your average 750,000 people getting together on Wednesday night to enjoy themselves.

People are getting along better than they have in an awful long time, I think, ... It's the most wonderful city in the world. We're all lucky to live here.

We have talked to them and asked them to not have a subway car motif to write graffiti. This is not really art or expression. This is - let's be honest about what it is - it's trying to encourage people to do something that's not in anybody's interest.

We have a responsibility to make this city as safe as we can. That includes informing the people who manage and run the buildings in this city.

What we're trying to do is to balance the requests of the families for being able to be alone with the outpouring of sympathy of people throughout New York, throughout the state, throughout the country, throughout the world, to come and to pay their respects to those who were lost,

What's more, an awful lot of people come into this city to work,

We are going to have a situation where people are going to have to walk a long distance. They need to be careful, ... Our advice is to go home, open up your windows, drink a lot of liquids.

Someone told me there was a primary contest going on tonight, is that right? I love primary night, especially when I don't have one, ... If we work hard over the next eight weeks ... I'll tell you who the real winner's going to be on Nov. 8, the people of New York.

It's two people dead and, fortunately, we had a very heroic police officer, Richard Burt, who probably saved an awful lot of lives,

Graffiti is just one of those things that destroys our quality of life, and why anybody thinks that it's funny or cute to encourage kids to go do that, I don't know. We have talked to them and asked them to not have a subway car motif to write graffiti. This is not really art or expression. This is - let's be honest about what it is - it's trying to encourage people to do something that's not in anybody's interest.
