Manhattan Quotes - Page 12

• El movimiento era la esencia de Manhattan. Siempre había sido así, y ahora su sentido de la fluidez, la energía, la apertura, la elasticidad, como lo llamaba Charles Dickens, era más enérgico que nunca. La mitad de las habilidades y aspiraciones de la ciudad parecían dedicarse a la propagación del movimiento.

• Cuando solía ir al Club de Ajedrez de Manhattan en los años cincuenta, conocí a muchos veteranos que conocían a Capablanca, porque solía venir al club de Manhattan en los años cuarenta, antes de morir a principios de los cuarenta. Hablaban de Capablanca con admiración. Nunca he visto a nadie hablar así de ningún ajedrecista, ni antes ni después.

• With control of the universe at stake, a crash program is imperative.We produced the A-bomb, under the huge Manhattan Project, in an amazingly short time. The needs, the urgency today are even greater. The Air Force should end UFO secrecy, give the facts to scientists,the public, to Congress. Once the people realize the truth, they would back, even demand a crash program...for this is one race we dare not lose.

• Sure, we had to be skinny. I lived on Diet Coke and apples for two years. For the couture, we had to get up at 4 am to be sewn into the clothes and there was huge pressure to be thin. But I made a million dollars by the time I was 20, I bought a town house in Manhattan and put myself through Columbia. Does that make me a victim?

• When I was 15, my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car, but I found them. That month, I drove my stepdad's Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day, and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city, racing the taxis.

• El manhattanismo es la única ideología urbanística que se ha alimentado, desde su concepción, de los esplendores y miserias de la condición metropolitana -la hiperdensidad- sin perder ni una sola vez la fe en ella como base de una cultura moderna deseable. La arquitectura de Manhattan es un paradigma de la explotación de la congestión.

• No one on the street thought anything of the downtown girl dressed in black who had paused in the middle of midtown foot traffic. In her art student camouflage she could walk the entire length of Manhattan and, if not blend in, be classified and therefore ignored.

• Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? If Canada and the United States can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the South secede from the United States? New York State from the Union? New York City from the state? Why may not Manhattan secede? Each neighbourhood? Each block? Each house? Each person?

• When we make a change, it's so easy to interpret our unsettledness as unhappiness, and our unhappiness as a result of having made the wrong decision. Our mental and emotional states fluctuate madly when we make big changes in our lives, and some days we could tight-rope across Manhattan, and other days we are too weary to clean our teeth. This is normal. This is natural. This is change.

  Jeanette Winterson

• Ivan and Misha is the great American Russian Novel told as Chekhov would tell it, in stories of delicacy, humanity, and insight. From Kiev to Manhattan, Brighton Beach and Bellevue, Michael Alenyikov lays out a series of compelling arguments for brotherhood between brothers, between lovers, between men from an old country. Alenyikov confronts big subjects—illness and madness, sex and love in the age of AIDS, old and new world values, a fallen wall, the metaphysics of survival, the march of generations.
