New York City Landmark

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

    “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)

    “A suburb is an attempt to get out of reach of the city without having the city be out of reach.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest
    Uncoffined—just as found:
    His landmark is a kopje-crest
    That breaks the veldt around;”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
