Yesterday, Maksim Gelman, the psycho Russian who, in February 2011, murdered four people here in Brooklyn just a few blocks from where I live, was sentenced to 200 years in prison. Defiant, even in the courtroom, he said that what happened wasn't his fault (!).

Sick bastard should have been put to death, IMO.

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
