Famous quotes containing the word york:

    “New York is a woman
    holding, according to history,
    a rag called liberty with one hand
    and strangling the earth with the other.”
    —Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)

    “New York was a new and strange world. Vast, impersonal, merciless.... Always before I had felt like a person, an individual, hopeful that I could mold my life according to some desire of my own. But here in New York I was ignorant, insignificant, unimportant—one in millions whose destiny concerned no one. New York did not even know of my existence. Nor did it care.”
    —Agnes Smedley (1890–1950)
