The City of New York, the noblest of the American symbols. (Quote by - James Morris)

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 flesh and I myself am not a dream. (Quote by - Helen Keller)

Why, if you are not in New York you are camping out. (Quote by - Thomas W. Dewing)

You absorb the intellectual life, the culture. Without even consciously learning from it, you are stimulated by it. It is almost a passive thing that happens. You cannot stop it. (Quote by - Stephen Tim)
