Commencement address at Syracuse University, quoted in The New York Times (12 May 1986).
“
When you’ve parked the second car in the garage, and installed the hot tub, and skied in Colorado, and wind-surfed in the Caribbean, when you’ve had your first love affair and your second and your third, the question will remain, where does the dream end for me?
— Mario Cuomo
