At The End of the Day
Favorite New York Quotes, Volume X
"At the end of the day, you have to go back to Brooklyn. And I know Brooklyn is very fancy now, but I mean home. You have to go back to reality. You have to go back to nothing in order to maintain the dream." Albert Elbaz, "Ladies' Man" in The New Yorker (Volume LXXXV, NO. 5, March 16, 2009) by Ariel Levy.
I mostly only like this one because I read it on the plane back to Brooklyn from vacation in San Francisco. I really didn't want to go back.

Room as Brain
"The comparison—room as brain—is one I've often reached for in describing the rooms of others, but it began with the suspicion that I'd externalized my own brain, for anyone who cared to look." Jonathan Lethem, "The Beards" in The Disappointment Artist

Because Honey, She Makes Bad Decisions
"Today, I walked home from a guy's dorm early in the morning, still wearing my dress and heels from the night before. I walked by a mother and her little daughter, who said 'Mommy, why is she so dressed up so early in the morning?' and the mom replied 'Because honey, she makes bad decisions.'" FML

I'm Going Back to New York City
Favorite New York Quotes, Volume VIII.
"I'm going back to New York City / I do believe I've had enough." Bob Dylan in "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" but I really only like this one when Neil Young sings it.

What's Your Favorite Place Ever?
Favorite New York Quotes, Volume VII.
"'What do you want to do?'
'I don’t know. What’s your favorite place ever? In the whole city, I mean.'
'My favorite place ever in the whole city?'
'Right.'
'Including the boroughs?'
'Don’t tell me it’s in Brooklyn. That’s awfully disappointing.'
'Not Brooklyn,' Sammy said. 'Queens.'
'Worse still.'
'Only it isn’t there anymore, my favorite place. They closed it. Packed it up and rolled it right it right out of town.'
'The fair,' Bacon said. He shook his head. 'You and that Fair.'"
Michael Chabon, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
