Citat om New York

Alla vi som älskar New York, vet att orden inte räcker till. Orden som ska fånga våra känslor för staden. Orden som ska fånga det som egentligen inte kan fångas: kärleken, svärtan, mångfalden, det unika, det lilla konkreta och det svindlande ogripbara.

Här kommer några kloka ord om staden i våra hjärtan. För mig fångar det första citatet just kärnan i min kärlek till New York:

”One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.”
Thomas Wolfe

”New York is a place where the rich walk, the poor drive Cadillacs, and the beggars die of malnutrition with thousands of dollars hidden in their mattresses.”

”Guys like you can’t escape the city. Hell, you got a blood contract with this place. You’re married to the old girl.”
~ Mickey Spillane, Kiss Her Goodbye: An Otto Penzler Book

”New York is to the nation what the white church spire is to the village – the visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying the way is up.”
