Willie Morris Quotes

And It Was To This City, Whenever I Went Home, That I Always Knew I Must Return, For It Was Mistress Of One's Wildest Hopes, Protector Of One's Deepest Privacies. It Was Half Insane With Its Noise, Violence, And Decay, But It Gave One The Tender Security Of Fulfillment. On Winter Afternoons, From My Office, There Were Sunsets Across Manhattan When The Smog Itself Shimmered And Glowed ... Despite Its Difficulties, Which Become More Obvious All The Time, One Was Constantly Put To The Test By This City, Which Finally Came Down To Its People; No Other Place In America Had Quite Such People And They Would Not Allow You To Go Stale; In The End They Were Its Triumph And Its Reward.
