I have a little name. That's why people can remember it.

I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Ignorance and its hand-maidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellowman, breed dictators and breed wars.
I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.
There are always a lot of people so afraid of rocking the boat that they stop rowing. We can never get ahead that way.
Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.

People ask, "What do you think about being called Puff Mommy?" Puff's a very successful young man, so I don't have a problem if that's what they wanna call me. If anybody calls me a female Quincy Jones, that's way, way complimentary. That's something I'll cherish for life.

Our numbers expand, but Earth's natural systems do not.
