“Summer had come to sit on New York's face.”

“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York.”

“… In the summer New York was the only place in which one could escape from New Yorkers…”

“Come with me."
"Come with you? To Pandemonium? To the Void? And here I thought that my invitation to summer in New Jersey was the worst I had ever received.”

“Surprising news from New York, the whistle-blower had his whistle blown!”

“People come to New York to be different, but I go to Starbucks to be the same.”

“A time will come, a time will come,
(Though the world will never be quite the same),
When the people sit in the summer sun,
Watching, watching the beautiful game.”

“No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky.”

“New York is basically a new version of York. But York just got a cathedral…”

“Our national unity was the secret of the force of each of the members. New York could not be New York nor Ohio be Ohio without Massachusetts and without Georgia. And a government which had not the right to coerce had not the right to exist.”
