Quotations of the day

"I was on the bus and people were yelling 'get down, get down.' I was thinking, 'You people are crazy, no one is shooting in the middle of midtown Manhattan at 9 o'clock in the morning.'" ? Accountant Marc Engel after police gunned down a man who killed a former co-worker near the Empire State Building, resulting in a chaotic confrontation that sent bullets ricocheting and wounded nine other people.

___

"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised." ? Mitt Romney to a crowd of more than 7,000 in Michigan, raising the discredited rumor that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. Romney later insisted the remark was just a joke and not meant to question Obama's citizenship.

"I don't know if $1 billion is hugely significant to Apple or Samsung. But there is a social cost here. As a company, you don't want to be known as someone who steals from someone else. I am sure Samsung wants to be known as an innovator, especially since a lot of Asian companies have become known for copying the designs of innovators." ? Christopher Marlett, CEO of MDB Capital Group, after a federal jury ruled that Samsung stole smartphone technology from Apple.
