“Vermont is such a small state, and the most money that's ever been spent in the history of political campaigns there is $2 million. That number is going to be surpassed many times. Vermont remains a "cheap state" for the Republican National Committee. So putting $5 or $10 million into Vermont - compared to New York or California or Illinois - that's small potatoes.” StatesPoliticalNumbersMillionsNew YorkRepublicanRemainsCampaignsCaliforniaCommitteesPotatoesIllinoisVermontPolitical Campaign Author:Bernie Sanders
“The Bible stands apart from all other books, and has survived and will survive all the attacks of its enemies. It is like the electric torch that shines over the water of New York Bay, struck by the wing of many a seabird that dashes against it in its reckless flight, but still shining on unmoved while the foolish and reckless assailant falls bleeding and wounded at its feet. It is an anvil which has worn out many a hammer of hostile criticism, while the anvil still remains unshaken amid the wreck of all that have assailed it.” StillsBookFallWaterEnemyFeetNew YorkCriticismRemainsWingsShiningFoolishFlightElectricWornWoundedSurvivedHostileHammersRecklessWrecksBleedingTorchesWorn OutAnvils Author:A.

“I met Mary [Hamill] in New York at my exhibition and when I told her about my oral history project she asked, "Would it be possible to incorporate visual art?" My sister stitches pillowcases, which led to Mary suggesting using cyanotype on them. I originally thought of the idea of pillowcases because when people get married, they have the bride and the groom lay their hands on each other's pillows while their relatives tie ribbons on their wrists. And then on the bed you usually have two pillows - one for yourself and one for your loved one - so when one is gone, one pillow remains.” PeopleArtTwoIdeasHandsGoneNew YorkMetsBedProjectsMarriedRemainsLaysTiesVisualsMy SisterLoved OnesMaryPillowBridesWristsSuggestingExhibitionsRibbonsVisual ArtStitchesOral HistoryPillowcases Author:Chath Piersath
“So I went to New York City to be born again. It was and remains easy for most Americans to go somewhere else and start anew. I wasn't like my parents. I didn't have any supposedly sacred piece of land or shoals of friends to leave behind. Nowhere has the number zero been of more philisophical value than in the United States.... and when the [train] plunged into a tunnel under New York City, with it's lining of pipes and wires, I was out of the womb and into the birth canal.” StatesValuesEasyParentBornUnitedNumbersCitiesBehindsUnited StatesPiecesLandNew YorkBirthRemainsSacredTrainZeroNew York CityRebirthWombWireSomewhere ElsePipeTunnelsBorn AgainCanalsStarting Anew Author:Kurt Vonnegut
“I now know my right from my left and my up from my down. Unluckily, my terrible sense of direction remains. For me, to live in New York City is to never be able to meet someone on the northeast corner. It is to never ever make a smooth entrance, always to get caught looking lost on the street.” KnowsAbleLostLeftCitiesStreetsNew YorkTerribleRemainsCaughtCornersNew York CitySmoothEntrances Author:Sloane Crosley

“New York remains what it has always been : a city of ebb and flow, a city of constant shifts of population and economics, a city of virtually no rest. It is harsh, dirty, and dangerous, it is whimsical and fanciful, it is beautiful and soaring - it is not one or another of these things but all of them, all at once, and to fail to accept this paradox is to deny the reality of city existence.” RealityBeautifulCitiesExistenceAcceptingFailingDangerousNew YorkEconomicsFlowRemainsConstantPopulationDenyDirtyParadoxHarshSoarWhimsicalEbb And Flow Author:Paul Goldberger
