I'd rather wake in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.

Cities have sexes: London is a man, Paris a woman, and New York a well-adjusted transsexual.

Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.

City life: millions of people being lonesome together.

You cannot see the Milky Way in New York City any more ... We risk the loss of our sensual perception. And if you lose those, naturally, you try to compensate by other stimulations, by very loud noises, or by bright lights or drugs.
