More is Never Enough

Favorite New York Quotes, Volume XVII

"They'd walked all the way to Manhattan a few times, over the grimy Queensborough, they used to walk to Shea Stadium and the old fairgrounds, along the Van Wyck and Grand Central and Interborough. If you could get there by foot, you did. Their walks with Sol were slower but no less determined, as if the only thing that mattered was reaching their destination - the Unisphere, the bank in a replica of Liberty Hall, any of the several overpasses where you could see cars streaming in the night. They stood in silence for a few moments, then turned and went home."
