3/6/70: He and wife Anne Byrne Hoffman were living in a brownstone on 11th St. in New York City`s Greenwich Village when the house next door blew up. Luckily, he and his family weren`t home. Members of the radical 1960s domestic terror group The Weathermen were living in that house unknown to anyone and had stored a large cache of explosives that accidentally detonated, killing three of the group`s members. Henry Fonda`s ex-wife, Susan Wager, was also a neighbor in that block and witnessed the explosion.
- Dustin Hoffman(to Eli Wallach prior to starting work on Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966) ("The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly")) Never trust anyone on an Italian movie. I know about these things. Stay away from special effects and explosives.
- Clint EastwoodAlthough personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
- Winston ChurchillDon`t ask me my opinions on art, because I don`t have any. Aesthetic concerns have played a relatively minor role in my life, and I have to smile when a critic talks, for example, of my "palette". I find it impossible to spend hours in galleries analyzing and gesticulating. Where (Pablo Picasso)`s concerned, his legendary facility is obvious, but sometimes I`m repelled by it. I can`t stand "Guernica", which I nonetheless helped to hang. Everything about it makes me uncomfortable--the grandiloquent technique as well as the way it politicizes art. Both Alberti and (José Bergamín) share my aversion; in fact, all three of us would be delighted to blow up the painting, but I suppose we`re too old to start playing with explosives.
- Luis BuñuelIt was a very large explosion, and did very extensive damage, and shows a great deal of sophistication with explosives, ... There are some similarities that we see with East Africa.
- Richard ClarkeJohn Kerry`s attacks today were baseless. He said American troops did not secure the explosives, when the explosives were already missing.
- Steve SchmidtI really enjoyed hanging out with some of the teachers. This one chemistry teacher, she liked hanging out. I liked making explosives. We would stay after school and blow things up.

- Andy BealCastro will never change, never. Our job is to provide inspiration and explosives to the Cuban people.
- Anita DrummondThis preserves for the president all the options that a president would want to have in case this country or our friends and allies were attacked with weapons of mass destruction, be they nuclear, biological, chemical or, for that matter, high explosives,
