Famous quotes containing the words york, city and/or subway:

    “New York is something awful, something monstrous. I like to walk the streets, lost, but I recognize that New York is the world’s greatest lie. New York is Senegal with machines.”
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    “No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “In New York—whose subway trains in particular have been “tattooed” with a brio and an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame—not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.... Even the most chronically dispossessed appear prepared to endorse the legitimacy of the “haves.””
    —Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. “Cleaning and Cleansing,” Myths and Memories (1986)
