"Broadway is a main artery of New..." - Quote by Walter Winchell

“Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid.”

“I never lost a friend I wanted to keep.”

“Remember that nobody will ever get ahead of you as long as he is kicking you in the seat of the pants.”

“I have at last, after several months' experience, made up my mind that [New York] is a splendid desert--a domed and steepled solitude, where the stranger is lonely in the midst of a million of his race.”

“Start spreading the news, I am leaving today.I want to be a part of it, New York, New York.”

“When I'm back in New York - and this is a terrible thing to complain about - I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I'd like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It's kind of like being in the Mafia.”

“There was no wind; there was no passing shadow on the deep shade of the night; there was no noise. The city lay behind him, lighted here and there, and starry worlds were hidden by the masonry of spire and roof that hardly made out any shapes against the sky. Dark and lonely distance lay around him everywhere, and the clocks were faintly striking two.”

“To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time, especially in that kind of mock rurality, ugly but odd, and partaking of two natures, which surrounds certain large cities, particularly Paris.”

“Every city is a living body.”
