“Now, I'm not suggesting we're going to wait 40 years or even four year...” — Michael Chertoff Quote

“Now, I'm not suggesting we're going to wait 40 years or even four years, but I think we have to put in perspective the fact that we've come quite a distance. We have quite a distance to come - go, as well.”

“The larger point is this: We've invested over half a billion dollars in New York since this department was stood up. We've given New York more money, by more than double, than any other city in the country.”

“The second thing we did was said, OK, we've now identified the risk, but what do you want to do with the money? Because it's not enough to have risk; you've got to have a meaningful use for the money we give you.”

“The places I've been, or passed through, or seen at a distance, have had as much an impact on my life as the people I've known.”

“I do theoretical particle physics. We're trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is you have to look at really small distances. And to get to small distances, you need high energies.”

“In my last fight I couldn't explode as much. Sometimes I had a chance to throw the guy, to close the distance, and I missed that distance because of my hips.”
