Quotes by Gary Krist (?)

“New Orleans' rebellious and free-spirited personality is nothing if not resilient. And so the disruptive energies of the place- its vibrancy and eccentricity, its defiance and nonconformity, and yes, its violence and depravity- are likely to live on.”
― Gary Krist, Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans

“It is no easy matter to go to heaven by way of New Orleans.”

“New Orleans, it was often observed, was the first American metropolis to build an opera house, but the last to build a sewage system.”
