Andre Aciman Quotes

New York May End Up Being No More Than A Scrim, A Spectral Film That Is None Other Than Our Craving For Romance - Romance With Life, With Masonry, With Memory, Sometimes Romance With Nothing At All. This Longing Goes Out To The City And From The City Comes Back To Us. Call It Narcissism. Or Call It Passion. It Has Its Flare-ups, Its Cold Nights, Its Sudden Lurches, And Its Embraces. It Is Our Life Finally Revealed To Us In The Most Lifeless Hard Objects We'll Ever Cast Eyes On: Concrete, Steel, Stonework. Our Need For Intimacy And Love Is So Powerful That We'll Look For Them And Find Them In Asphalt And Soot.
