New York Quotes (page 25)

He was going to live in New York, and be known at every restaurant and caf, wearing a dress suit from early evening to early morning, sleeping away the dull hours of the forenoon. F. Scott Fitzgerald
It was the old New York way...the way people who dreaded scandal more than disease, who placed decency above courage, and who considered that nothing was more ill-bred than "scenes", except those who gave rise to them. Edith Wharton
Frank McCourt quote: "I'm in New York, land of the free and home of the brave, but..."
I'm in New York, land of the free and home of the brave, but I'm supposed to behave as if I were in Limerick at all times. Frank McCourt
John Updike quote: "When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward..."
When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas. John Updike
Mrs. Almond lived much farther up town, in an embryonic street with a high number—a region where the extension of the city began to assume a theoretic air, where poplars grew beside the pavement (when there was one), and mingled their shade with the steep roofs of desultory Dutch houses, and where pigs and chickens disported themselves in the gutter. These elements of rural picturesqueness have now wholly departed from New York street scenery; but they were to be found within the memory of... Henry James

Critics in New York are made by their dislikes, not by their enthusiasms. Irwin Shaw
I don't hate it here," she said automatically. Surprising herself, she realized that as much as she'd been trying to convince herself otherwise, she was telling the truth. "It's just that I don't belong here."He gave her a meloncholy smile. "If it's any consolation, when I was growing up, I didn't feel like I belonged here, either. I dreamed about going to New York. But it's strange, because when I finally escaped this place, I ended up missing it more than I thought I would. There's... Nicholas Sparks
Don DeLillo quote: "The art of getting ahead in New York was based on learning how..."
The art of getting ahead in New York was based on learning how to express dissatisfaction in an interesting way. Don DeLillo
We had no desire to live in Istanbul, nor in Paris or New York. Let them have their discos and dollars, their skycrapers and supersonics transports. Let them have their radios and their color TV, hey, we have ours, don't we? But we have something they don't have. Heart. We have heart. Look, look how the light of life seeps into my very heart Orhan Pamuk
The place smelled of fairgrounds, of lazy crowds, of nights when you stayed out because you couldn't go to bed, and it smelled like New York, of its calm and brutal indifference. Georges Simenon
Le Corbusier quote: "A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe, and..."
A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe, and fifty times : It is a beautiful catastrophe. Le Corbusier
His situation, insofar as he was a machine, was complex, tragic, and laughable. But the sacred part of him, his awareness, remained an unwavering band of light. And this book is being written by a meat machine in cooperation with a machine made of metal and plastic. The plastic, incidentally, is a close relative of the gunk in Sugar Creek. And at the core of the writing meat machine is something sacred, which is an unwavering band of light. At the core of each person who reads this book is a... Kurt Vonnegut
One never need leave the confines of New York to get all the greenery one wishes - I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life. Frank O'Hara
You know, Dag and Claire smile a lot, as do many people I know. But I always wondered if there is something either mechanical or malignant to their smiles, for the way they keep their outer lips propped up seems a bit, not false, but protective. A minor realization hits me as I sit with the two of them. It is the realisation that the smiles that they wear in their daily lives are the same as the smiles worn by people who have been good-naturedly fleeced, but fleeced nonetheless, in public and... Doug Coupland
There was, of course, nowhere better in the world to be than New York City. This fact was the foundation of her family's satisfaction with itself, the platform from which all else could be ridiculed, the collateral of adult sophistication that bought them the right to behave like children. Jonathan Franzen
