is a catastrophe but often a beautiful catastrophe.

A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe and 50 times: It is a beautiful catastrophe. Le Corbusier

is a city in a hurry. Its unifying characteristic is a spirit of urgency.

If New York has a unifying characteristic, it is a spirit of urgency. It is a city in a hurry. New York, 'Greatest City in the World' CROWELL, Paul and A.H. RASKIN

is a city of possibility, a city that gives one these sense that something extraordinary will happen any minute, any day, any month.

I remember walking across Sixty-second Street one twilight that first spring, or the second spring, they were all alike for a while. I was late to meet someone but I stopped at Lexington Avenue and bought a peach and stood on the corner eating it and knew that I had come out out of the West and reached the mirage. I could taste the peach and feel the soft air blowing from a subway grating on my legs and I could smell lilac and garbage and expensive perfume and I knew that it would cost something sooner or later, because I did not belong there, did not come from there, but when you are twenty-two or twenty-three, you figure that later you will have a high emotional balance, and be able to pay whatever it costs. I still believed in possibilities then, still had the sense, so peculiar to New York, that something extraordinary would happen any minute, any day, any month. Joan Didion

is a city one doesn't come to unless a strong aspect of one's personality is the delusion of a reality shaped around one's own desires.

You don't come to live here unless the delusion of a reality shaped around your own desires isn't a strong aspect of your personality. A reality shaped around your own desires - there is something sociopathic in that ambition. - Zadie Smith, Find Your Beach

is a city one loves even though it isn't theirs, the way a street or a house belongs to one because one belong to it.

I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.

is a city only for the very rich and the very poor. It is less often said that new york is also, at least for those of us who came there from somewhere else, a city for only the very young.

It is often said that New York is a city only for the very rich and the very poor. It is less often said that New York is also, at least for those of us who came there from somewhere else, a city for only the very young. Slouching Toward Bethlehem DIDION, Joan (1934 )
