The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.”
    —Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

    “We Americans are the peculiar, chosen people—the Israel of our time; we bear the ark of the liberties of the world.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
