City Quotes

I left Kurdistan in April 2003 with the peshmerga, following their excited advance as Saddam’s forces crumbled. First Kirkuk, then Mosul - where looters broke into the city museum and seized its Parthian sculptures - then Tikrit. I reported from Baghdad in month-long stints until the end of 2004 Picture Quote #1

When I first came to New York City in 1967, I joined up with Richard Schechner’s Performance Group - where we worked in the Performing Garage in SoHo Picture Quote #1

I was enamored of New York City intellectual life and was really into Philip Roth because I was raised by self-loathing Midwesterners who were from southern Illinois, who felt like fish out of water when they came to the East Coast when I was a kid Picture Quote #1

Have you ever been to Mexico City and haggled with the locals over souvenirs? Well, in Peru, you had to negotiate like that to get the freshest fish at the market Picture Quote #1

I don’t know who made the first Aquaman joke. I’m sure it was comics readers; maybe we all did. But it’s the idea that the perpetuated story of Aquaman is that he only has powers in water, and he talks to fish. I think it’s the idea of him in the middle of a city just doesn’t make a lot of sense to people. It’s just the character itself Picture Quote #1

When I began my career as a flight attendant, I was a 21-year-old with a B.A. in English and stars in her eyes. I wanted to see every city in the world. I wanted to have adventures that, I hoped, would fuel a writing career some day Picture Quote #1

I kinda like Florida. It’s hot as hell, but we moved to Tallahassee, which is so close to Georgia. It really wasn’t Florida the way people think of Florida. It wasn’t south Florida. But you could still easily drive to Panama City Beach and get a little bit of Redneck Riviera if you want that. Get some airbrushed T-shirts on, and you’re done Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what town you’re born in, what city, what country. If you’re a child, you are curious about your environment. You’re overturning rocks. You’re plucking leaves off of trees and petals off of flowers, looking inside, and you’re doing things that create disorder in the lives of the adults around you Picture Quote #1

I could never leave Las Vegas. I can’t really afford New York or Los Angeles. I love this town. We don’t have that much. We have the Runnin’ Rebels and boxer Floyd Mayweather. When Mayweather fights, it’s good for the whole city. It’s like the Super Bowl out here Picture Quote #1

Las Vegas is the boxing capital. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything Picture Quote #1

My commitment is to Los Angeles, so whatever helps this continue to be a great city, that’s what I would be focused to do, and the Dodgers are certainly iconic to Los Angeles Picture Quote #1

I do have very deep, fond memories of my family in Mexico City, but I also remember feeling funny for not speaking English - I was basically an immigrant. But I picked up the language fast and soon I knew that I wanted to be a writer Picture Quote #1

Los Angeles is such a widespread city, sometimes it’s hard to see your friends, and food is a great way to get together - it’s a great way of giving love Picture Quote #1

At the gates of the forest, the surprised man of the world is forced to leave his city estimates of great and small, wise and foolish Picture Quote #1

Football has very direct and strong connections to New Orleans. The game of football has served as a positive beacon in our city. It has given our citizens hope in tough, trying times Picture Quote #1

New York has arguably become the quintessential 1 percent city, a city that has been so given over to the rich that you now have to be rich to live here. Or not live here: New York’s also a preferred destination for foreign money spent on vast, lifeless apartments in the sky that are occupied a couple of weeks a year at most Picture Quote #1

Angry men with pointy things sent to secure a foreign city are pretty much alike anywhere. That’s what I’ve heard. So far nothing’s convinced me different Picture Quote #1

Belfast is a city which, while not forgetting its past, is living comfortably with its present and looking forward to its future Picture Quote #1

Don’t believe those tales you hear about my being all-in. Wait until you see me in action for your team and then form your opinion of my worth to your team. I assure you that I am delighted to be a Pirate and that I will do my best to bring another pennant to the Smoky City Picture Quote #1

In Hong Kong there is agglomeration beyond my fondest imaginings. The Kowloon district claims a population density four times that of New York City Picture Quote #1

I was born in New York City in 1926, four years after my parents and my brother migrated to the United States from the city of Odessa in Russia Picture Quote #1

I plan to see St. Louis as a global competitor. As an international trade hub, as an incubator of new companies, as a place of culture and the arts, as a magnet for immigrants, for entrepreneurs, for animal lovers, and for gays, as a city of parks and trails, and as the sort of place that figures in young people’s dreams Picture Quote #1

I grew up a little north of New York City and went to high school at Regis, an all-boys tuition-free high school in Manhattan Picture Quote #1

The city and province were given up to anarchy; the coloured people, elated with victory, proclaimed the slaughter of all whites, except the English, French, and American residents Picture Quote #1

Iris Johansen’s lovers weathered the sack of city states and the vagaries of the French Revolution; Judith McNaught’s heroines endured amnesia, social ostracism and misunderstandings so big they deserved their own ZIP code Picture Quote #1

[On Los Angeles:] This city is a hundred years old but try and find some trace of its history. Every culture is swallowed up and spat out as a franchise. Taco Bell. Benihana of Tokyo. Numero Uno Pizza. Pup ‘N’ Taco. Kentucky Fried Chicken. Fast food sushi. Teriyaki Bowl Picture Quote #1

I don’t actually keep the dresses I’ve worn during other friends’ weddings. Closets are small in New York City - I can’t be squandering space on bridesmaid dresses Picture Quote #1

I really wanted to go to a city and get involved in a theater scene and a theater community. I had some friends who had moved out to Chicago and had said really good things about it and about the work. I didn’t care at that time about making money Picture Quote #1

The film itself involves a New York City radio storyteller, Gabriel Noone, who strikes up a friendship with one of his fans, an abused 14-year-old teenager who is suffering from AIDS, who does not have much longer to live Picture Quote #1

Paris is a very exciting city. I learned about Paris the same way that Americans do: from the movies Picture Quote #1
