“New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it— once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.”

— T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party (via ponceau)
