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.

Minneapolis just embraced me. There are a lot of weirdos here. It's awesome, because I'm a weirdo. Thankfully, the city embraced me with open arms. A lot about Minneapolis helped carve my musicality and open my eyes. The whole town is so open-minded compared to like, you know, Texas.
