" I’ve had meetings with Fidel Castro. I’ve had meetings with Kim Il-Sung. I’ve had meetings with other dictators. I’ve met with the Butcher of Beijing. You know, I think it’s important to hear, you know, each other’s perspective. " - Gary Ackerman

" Sometimes people who are Jewish are held to a higher standard which sometimes we take great pride in. " - Gary Ackerman

" You can compromise between good, better, and best, and you can compromise between bad and worse and terrible. But you can’t compromise between good and evil. And now people look at the other side as a completely different kind of animal and say, ‘They are taking the country down the road to purgatory.’ It’s complete intolerance. " - Gary Ackerman
