Quotes by Stephen Birmingham (?)

“A broken heart is better than a whole one where love has never crept in.”

“London had had a subway system since 1863, but New York had not yet gone underground for at least two reasons. For one thing, New York was built on solid rock, and tunneling through the Manhattan schist presented enormous engineering obstacles. For another, during the years when “Boss” Tweed had the city in his grip, Tweed and his “ring” controlled the surface transportation lines and wanted no competition.”
― Stephen Birmingham, Life at the Dakota: New York's Most Unusual Address
