“I've been very consistent over the years in saying the same things. I feel pretty strongly that the only thing that's changed is that the New York media world once agreed with the things I was saying, and now they don't.”

“I hate saying the same thing over and over again.”

Homér The Odyssey (Cowper)

XII. 453–454 (tr. Samuel Butler).
Odyssey (c. 725 BC)

“I've been over and I've been under,
I've been through all kinds of hell.
Trouble was not only my middle name,
It was my first as well.
Through the years, all I've encountered,
I've just one thing to say:
"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away."”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

I've been taken for far more rides to places I've never been, stabbed so many times in the back I no longer feel a thing. Oh, ask me what all this has taught me and I'll tell you what I'll say: "Hold on to what you got and don't let it slip away. Save it for a rainy day." "Hold On To What You Got" (song) Gilbert O'Sullivan, "Hold On To What You Got" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7YYinfmOUI (song on YouTube) (+ Live performance in Japan, 1992.

“I probably always say the same things; I hope people don't remember. One of the same things I say is that Japanese macroeconomic policy is perversely and inexcusably incompetent, and I surely would say that again. It's true-as Paul Krugman, a fellow participant in this program, has been saying and as I have said here in previous years-that Japan has reinvented the Keynesian liquidity trap. It can now reappear in classrooms where it had been long ignored or at best barely mentioned as a curiosum of the Great Depression.”

James Tobin (1918–2002) American economist

"Reflections on Japanese Political Economy" (1999)

“We know that most people's intentions are good. We don't question their motives; we've never said they're unpatriotic, although they say some pretty ugly things about us. And we believe very strongly on preserving the right to differ in this country, and the right to dissent; and if I have done a good job of anything since I've been president, it's to ensure that there are plenty of dissenters.”

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) American politician, 36th president of the United States (in office from 1963 to 1969)

Statement (17 November 1967), as quoted in Vietnam: A Television History (1983) "Homefront USA" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/vietnam/series/pt_10.html 1960s

Peter Greenaway (1942) British film director

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover

“I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through;
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do.
I can't say I’m proud of all of the things that I’ve done,
But I can say I’ve never intentionally hurt anyone.”

Waylon Jennings (1937–2002) American country music singer, songwriter, and musician

I've Always Been Crazy, title track from I've Always Been Crazy (1978).
