“On any person who desires such queer prizes, New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy.” ─E.B. White
For one year, I worked in New York City. My mom’s side of the family are all New Yorkers. As much as I loved my year there, I understood why my family moved out West in 1969.
“By comparison with other less hectic days, the city is uncomfortable and inconvenient; but New Yorkers temperamentally do not crave comfort and convenience. If they did they would live elsewhere.”
