"Like all the other citizens who'd come from nowhere to this, the great somewhere, I felt like I'd finally found home." -Maria Dahvana Headley
"I bum a cigarette off the driver and exhale sharply as the city goes by in reverse. I honestly think, years from now, taxi rides like this will be the defining memory of my early twenties" -McLaughlin/Kraus
When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough.
~Fran Lebowitz
New york was dark/ Dirty and stark/ Burning with yellow wings/ Everyday come/ With fever and hum/ Who knows what it brings/ ~David Gray
