"Is it beauty and genius people want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window ... I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would like to throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."

Lines to be remembered as the "the WTC space must not be built upon" voices continue to yammer.

Thanks.

From a poster on my wall showing NYC lit up at night with the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground:

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline...the sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need?"
