Famous quotes containing the word york:

    “New York is a sucked orange.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
