Like nex0s, I don't think I've ever really understood not understanding New York. There's a part of me still that believes that if you don't understand New York, it just means that you haven't seen it the way I see it, and if I just show you the right places, the right times, the right chance meetings and moments, you'll get it, because it's too big and too beautiful not to get. For any value of 'you'. But this is probably wrong.
I like the quote. Thank you for it. It sort of makes me think of the way I appreciate movies and books - if it has good characters, or a good moment, or good imagery, or just one truly gorgeous line, I can usually forgive and ignore the rest. And it makes me wonder what the author would think of those of us who were born here - we remain as we are, no?
