Famous quotes containing the words yorkers and/or thought:
“We New Yorkers see more death and violence than most soldiers do, grow a thick chitin on our backs, grimace like a rat and learn to do a disappearing act. Long ago we outgrew the need to be blowhards about our masculinity; we leave that to the Alaskans and Texans, who have more time for it.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.”
—Eighteenth-century English proverb, collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
