Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real and I myself am not a dream.
Helen Keller
Most human beings are driven to seek security and comfort. But there is another group that can only thrive on change and the unexpected of New York.
Cathleen Nesbit
• I carry the place around the world the world in my heart but sometimes I try to shake it off in my dreams. F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Vehement silhouettes of Manhattan - that vertical city with unimaginable diamonds.Le Corbusier
• More and more too, the old name absorbs into me Mannahatta, 'the place encircled by many swift tides and sparkling waters.' How fit a name for America's great democratic island city! The word itself, how beautiful! how aboriginal! how it seems to rise with tall spires, glistening in sunshine, with such New World atmosphere, vista and action! Walt Whitman
The buildings are shimmering verticality, a gossamer veil, a festive scene-prop hanging there against the black sky to dazzle, entertain, amaze. Frank Lloyd Wright
