Like a four-sided porch I'm open to all winds.

Luc Sante Writer

I try to take pictures on their own terms, considering the historical and social context from which they emerge.

Luc Sante Writer

Subjectivity is my middle name, a trick memory is my pack mule, and self-contradiction is my trusty old jackknife.

Luc Sante Writer

I realize that books are not the entire world, even if they sometimes seem to contain it. But I need the stupid things.

Luc Sante Writer

In New York, it's a little bit more formal, a little bit more decorated, and there's a real appreciation for traditional style. Out here, it's casual, fresh, new, and almost humble.

James Pearse Connelly

In New York the sky is bluer, and the grass is greener, and the girls are prettier, and the steaks are thicker, and the buildings are higher, and the streets are wider, and the air is finer, than the sky, or the grass, or the girls, or the steaks, or the air of any place else in the world.

Edna Ferber Novelist

I miss the animal buoyancy of New York, the animal vitality. I did not mind that it had no meaning and no depth.

Anais Nin Author

When I go to farms or little towns, I am always surprised at the discontent I find. And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life.

Norman Rockwell Writer

I was now at a university in New York, a professor of existential psychology with the not inconsiderable thesis that magic, dread, and the perception of death were the roots of motivation.

Norman Mailer Novelist

I like the idea of people having romantic tendencies towards a place they don't know that well. I think it's great. Why not? My dad's view of New York is very similar to Americans' when they talk about Ireland.
