“People don't dream all their lives of escaping the hellish countries they live in and pay their life savings to underworld types for the privilege of being locked up in a freezing, filthy, stinking container ship and hauled like cargo for weeks until they finally arrive in Moscow or Beijing or Baghdad or Kabul. People risk their lives to come here---to New York. The greatest city in the world, where dreams become reality.”
Sean Hannity, Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism

Jonathan Lethem
“There is nothing Tourettic about the New York City subways.”
Jonathan Lethem, Motherless Brooklyn
