Joyce Kilmer: I think that I shall never see / A poem as lovely as a tree.
Walter Winchell: Broadway is a main artery of New York life--the hardened artery.
Claude Debussy: Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
Rem Koolhaas: Manhattan has no choice but the skyward extrusion of the Grid itself; only the Skyscraper offers business the wide-open spaces of a man-made Wild West, a frontier in the sky.
Thomas Jefferson: the boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.
I.M. Pei: I believe that architecture is a pragmatic art. To become art it must be built on a foundation of necessity.
William E. Geist: New York is a city of conversations overheard, of people at the next restaurant table (micrometers away) checking your watch, of people reading the stories in your newspaper on the subway train.
Paul Goldberg: New York remains what it has always been--a city of ebb and flow, a city of constant shifts of population and economics, a city of virtually no rest. It is harsh, dirty, and dangerous, it is whimsical and fanciful, it is beautiful and soaring--it is not one or another of these things but all of them, all at once, and to fail to accept this paradox is to deny the reality of city existence.
Aaron Tippen: Yes there's a lady that stands in a harbor for what she believes. And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free.
Henry Ford: Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.
