Here Is New York by E.B. White

I know it's a strange concept that you can be alone in a city of 8+ million, but trust me, NYC can be the loneliest city in the world (I lived there for almost five years.) I remember times I'd be sitting at Astoria park, surrounded by hundreds of people, looking across the East River at Manhattan, and think to myself, I am so lonely.

Such an interesting contradiction. I hope you were sometimes able to enjoy the solitude.
Huh. I never thought about it, but the concept of alone among many is sometimes the deepest form of lonliness isn't it? Because you've got the contrast of all the people constantly around you?
Thanks for sharing.

This sounds interesting. I love the sound of the writing style and I've never read E.B. White. Thanks for sharing!
I've heard of E. B. White but only because of The Elements of Style. Here is New York should be a well-written book, based on White's knowledge!

Does sound interesting, even though not really my type of read. Great quotes!
