A real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning.
R. L. Stine

I'm a New Yorker. I like the big streets and the big buildings. It's a great place to walk.
Ed Askew
Image
When you live in New York, one of two things happen - you either become a New Yorker, or you feel more like the place you came from.
Al Franken
Image
Every true New Yorker believes with all his heart that when a New Yorker is tired of New York, he is tired of life.
Robert Moses
Image
From the moment a New Yorker is confronted with almost any large city of Europe, it is impossible for him to pretend to himself that his own city is anything other than an unscrupulous real-estate speculation
Edmund Wilson
Image
It is difficult to offend a New Yorker.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
I'm a New Yorker, so I have the sort of tough vein that's naturally bred into me. In general, I'm a nice person, and that seems to surprise people sometimes.
Rosario Dawson
Image
I'm a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it's like losing a leg.
Judy Holliday
Image
Speaking as a New Yorker, I found it a shocking and terrifying event [9/11], particularly the scale of it. At bottom, it was an implacable desire to do harm to innocent people. It was aimed at symbols: the World Trade Center, the heart of American capitalism, and the Pentagon, the headquarters of the American military establishment.
Edward Said
Image
I'm a New Yorker, and working in New York was divine for me. I loved working there and going to work there, which I've been able to do three or four times in my career, and I just love it. It's my favorite.
Ali MacGraw
Image
Any real New Yorker is a you-name-it-we-have-it-snob whose heart brims with sympathy for the millions of unfortunates who through misfortune, misguidedness or pure stupidity live anywhere else in the world.
Russell Lynes
Image
David Remnick [the New Yorker's editor in chief]is about as interested in anything gay as I am interested in anything to do with baseball. It drives me nuts.
Kevin Sessums
Image
When I read the article [in The New Yorker] by David Grann, I was very struck by people responding to the article, of people thinking I was such a hero and what a wonderful person I was, and I didn't feel that at all. I felt like I had very much, like Todd [Willingham], taken a path of self-preservation.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Image
New York lost a classic. Carmine was an old school New Yorker.
Anthony Weiner
Image
I think that most New Yorkers would object to calling me a New Yorker. I didn't grow up here.
Sloane Crosley
Image
I don't write poetry for the New Yorker. My poems appear in the Nation, mostly.
Kevin Sessums
Image
If every four years in a presidential election, if you're a New Yorker or a Californian, and you realize that you are so much less important, that nobody is actually kind of targeting your needs because they're laser-focused on what will play in Florida and on what will play in Virginia.
Frank Bruni
Image
I've never felt more American than I did when I moved to England. It becomes a real kind of part of your identity: Oh, Ben. He's the American guy. I think when you say you're from New York you get a different reception then if you just say, I'm American. So I'd always kind of make sure I was a New Yorker first.
Ben Schnetzer
Image
I'm a New Yorker, and I jaywalk with the best of them.
Sonia Sotomayor
Image
New York is a place that can grind you down and spit you out. A true New Yorker doesn't get ground down, he gets polished.
Kurt Braunohler
Image
I'm reading a bunch of fiction by Afghan and Iraq War veterans for a New Yorker piece. There hasn't been that much, but it's starting to come out, and some of the fiction is really good.
George Packer
Image
Every writer at the New Yorker is smarter than me.
Bob Dylan
Image
The narrative songs were well-written, like an article in The New Yorker. They're nice and pat. They're more like I'm just showing I can do that when I write a song like that. It's not my true calling.
Stephen Malkmus
Image
When a New Yorker looks like he has a suntan, it's probably rust.
Laurence J. Peter
