Description

Over the last three-and-a-half centuries, this glamorous, twenty-four-hour city has attracted a multitude of thinkers, poets, novelists, and playwrights. Many of them have brilliantly encapsulated its unique spirit through verse, prose, or the ultimate wisecrack.

New York in Quotations offers a vibrant collection of these perspectives.

"Make your mark in New York and you are a made man," wrote Mark Twain, encapsulating both the naked ambition of its citizens and the opportunities up for grabs in the Big Apple.

Others take a more cynical approach: it's "an aviary over-stocked with jays" (O. Henry), "a sucked orange" (Ralph Waldo Emerson), or "fantastically charmless and elaborately dire" (Henry James).

Explore the diverse and often juxtaposing thoughts that capture the essence of New York as expressed by some of the world's most renowned figures.
