Famous quotes containing the words york, city and/or symphony:

    New York loves itself in an unkind and fanatical way.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Washington is a very easy city for you to forget where you came from and why you got there in the first place.
    Harry S. Truman (1884–1972)

    The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
