1 " This city is like no other city in the world. It is brilliant but it is bloated, and I've never called it home "
― Jessie Burton , The Miniaturist (The Miniaturist, #1)
2 " Imagine having a city full of things that no other city had. "
― Bill Bryson , The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid
3 " Whoever is born in New York is ill-equipped to deal with any other city: all other cities seem, at best, a mistake, and, at worst, a fraud. No other city is so spitefully incoherent. Whereas other cities flaunt there history - their presumed glory - in vividly placed monuments, squares, parks, plaques, and boulevards, such history as New York has been unable entirely to obliterate is to be found, mainly, in the backwaters of Wall Street, in the goat tracks of Old and West Broadway, in and around Washington Square, and, for the relentless searcher, in grimly inaccessible regions of The Bronx. "
― James Baldwin , Just Above My Head
4 " When it is good, this is a city of fantastic strength, sophistication and beauty. It is like no other city in time or place.

"
5 " I've become convinced that Los Angeles is going to become the next contemporary art capital - no other city has more contemporary gallery space than Los Angeles. We've come into our own, finally. "
6 " Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall. "
