and she speculated that the city would be cold, completely of itself, unconscious, that its every move would be transcendent, and that each of its hundred million flashing scenes would strike a moral lesson.

Most New Yorkers spent their lives somewhere between the fruit cart and the fifth floor. To see the city from a few hundred feet above the riffraff was pretty celestial. We gave the moment its due (The City Quotes)
The city had defeated her, just like they said it would. Like some overcrowded party, no one had noticed her arrival, and would notice if she left (The City Quotes)
When I'm at school in the city, I don't feel particularly worldly or wise. It's only when I come back home that I remember exactly why I left (The City Quotes)
I see a city in the desert lies the vanity of an ancient king but the city lies in broken pieces while the wind howls and the vultures sing (The City Quotes)
But there is so much more to do for the city we love. A Dallas with roads as strong as our businesses, parks as beautiful as our children, a downtown as tall as our imagination (The City Quotes)
The city has to do what any citizen or family does, when you have a dream. You tighten your belt. You sacrifice some luxuries. Above all, you don't waste a dime (The City Quotes)
We should teach general ethics to both men and women, but sexual relationships themselves must not be policed. Sex, like the city streets, would be risk - free only in totalitarian regimes (The City Quotes)

That is the way to lay the city flat, to bring the roof to the foundation, and bury all, which yet distinctly ranges, in heaps and piles of ruin (The City Quotes)
You have all these people in the city and everything has become centralized. If you live outside the city and you need a birth certificate or some official paper from the government, you have to travel to the city (The City Quotes)
When I was growing up in New Jersey, my mom would regularly take my sister and I into the city to see shows. I have many fond memories of standing in the half price ticket line in Times Square and going to matinees (The City Quotes)
Given the way some fought for the status quo when I authored the new Ethics Code and created the city's first Ethics Commission, we are going to need your strong support to get an even tougher Ethics Code passed this year (The City Quotes)
