„Das kommt darauf an, was die Bedeutung des Wortes 'ist' ist.“
1998 auf die Frage, ob er über seine Affäre mit Monica Lewinsky gelogen habe, Spiegel Online http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,531380,00.html, 28. Januar 2008 <br class="br">"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the [...] 'is' means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. [...] Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true." - President Clinton's Aug. 17 [1998] Grand Jury Testimony.
