Quotes on New York
- New York was a great place to have no money. There's so much free art and beauty, so much incredible, cheap food. But having money in New York, now that would be magical.
- That's what I love about New York. You're never the weirdest person in the room.
- In New York, it's impossible to escape the feeling of being one person among millions, as if you're all nerve endings in one vast organism.
- Life in New York, was like being in a giant bookstore: all these trillions of paths and possibilities drawing dreamers into the city's beating heart, saying, I make no promises but I offer many doors.
- You're not a true New Yorker until you're willing to feel your emotions out in the open.
Quotes on Being a Woman
- You can afford to be all surly and sharp and people will admire you for it. The rules are different for women. You have to strike this perfect balance to be taken seriously but not seen as bitchy. It's a constant effort. People don't want to work with sharky women.
- That's the thing about women. There's no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you're hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesn't have to tend to them and you're a heartless bitch.
Quotes on Books
- Some books you don't read so much as live, and finishing one of those always makes me think of ascending from a scuba dive. Like if I surface too fast I might get the bends.
- Sometimes, even when you start with the last page and you think you know everything, a book finds a way to surprise you.
Quotes on Reading
- The only two ways I've ever managed to get out of my head are through reading and rigorous exercise.
- That's what made me fall in love with reading: the instant floating sensation, the dissolution of real-world problems, every worry suddenly safely on the other side of some metaphysical surface.
