City Quotes
Every city leaves its own kind of mark.
Several of these quotes settle on New York specifically - raising children there, chasing a ballet career through its top companies, or building a life around it after moving from elsewhere. Others reflect on falling in love with a campus city the way you'd love Paris. See Cities Quotes for more.

In the 1970s, New York City defaulted on its debt, and yes, the consequences were painful. Enrollment plummeted at City University campuses, which until then had offered free education. Seven thousand police officers were laid off. Crime skyrocketed. Services for the poor disappeared.
