I've always had a dream about New York. New York is an island... those bridges... the skyline... the dynamism.

Santiago Calatrava

I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need?

Ayn Rand

Joe Lhota

I remember being a child eagerly looking out the Amtrak window, waiting for the New York City skyline to emerge.

Maya Wiley

What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don't ever approach. They just give you a 'What's up?' and that's it.

Chaske Spencer

Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. We have. We've blunted the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over. A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead.
