Outside the basement door was a covered pen that housed a rooster and a seagull. The rooster had been on his way to Colonel Sanders' when he fell off a truck and broke a drumstick. Someone called Carol, as people often do, and she took the rooster into her care. He was hard of moving, but she had hopes for him. He was so new there he did not even have a name. The seagull, on the other hand, had been with her for years. He had one wing. She had picked him up on a beach three hundred miles away. His name was Garbage Belly. --John McPhee, Travels in Georgia (1973) ~ David Remnick
New Yorker Profiles quotes by David Remnick
I was first published in the newspaper put out by School of The Art Institute of Chicago, where I was a student. I wince to read that story nowadays, but I published it with an odd photo I'd found in a junk shop, and at least I still like the picture. I had a few things in the school paper, and then I got published in a small literary magazine. I hoped I would one day get published in The New Yorker, but I never allowed myself to actually believe it. Getting published is one of those things that feels just as good as you'd hoped it would. ~ David Sedaris
New Yorker Profiles quotes by David Sedaris
Most of my work - including everything from my own comics to the covers I've drawn for 'The New Yorker' - is the result of taking some personal experience or observation and then fictionalizing it to a degree. ~ Adrian Tomine
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Adrian Tomine
In the last week of April 2004, a handful of the Abu Ghraib photographs were broadcast on 60 minutes and published in The New Yorker, and within a couple of days they had been rebroadcast and republished pretty much everywhere on earth. Overnight, the human pyramid, the hooded man on the box, the young woman soldier with a prisoner on a leash, and the corpse packed in ice had become the defining images of the Iraq war...Never before had such primal dungeon scenes been so baldly captured on camera...But above all, it was the posing soldiers, mugging for their buddies' cameras while dominating the prisoners in trophy stances, that gave the photographs the sense of unruly and unmediated reality. The staging was part of the reality they documented. And the grins, the thumbs-up, the arms crossed over puffed-out chests - all this unseemly swagger and self-regard was the height of amateurism. These soldier-photographers stood, at once, inside and outside the events they recorded, watching themselves take part in the spectacle, and their decision not to conceal but to reveal what they were doing indicated that they were not just amateur photographers, but amateur torturers.
So the amateurism was not merely a formal dimension of the Abu Ghraib pictures. It was part of their content, part of what we saw in them, and it corresponded to an aspect of the Iraq War that troubled and baffled nearly everyone: the reckless and slapdash ineptitude with which it had been prosecuted. It was ~ Philip Gourevitch
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Philip Gourevitch
But I have to channel my inner New Yorker--cool and nonchalant. ~ Becky Albertalli
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Becky Albertalli
Let's say honorary favorite New Yorker is John Lennon, and favorite real New Yorker is Biggie, because he's the best. ~ Paul Dano
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Paul Dano
I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home. ~ Hope Davis
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Hope Davis
I have no credentials. I have no money. I literally come from a poor place. I was a servant. I dropped out of college. The next thing you know I'm writing for the 'New Yorker,' I have this sort of life, and it must seem annoying to people. ~ Jamaica Kincaid
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Jamaica Kincaid
To every New Yorker - and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for - I sincerely apologize. ~ Eliot Spitzer
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Eliot Spitzer
I've often lost faith in myself, I've never lost it in my family ~ David Sedaris
New Yorker Profiles quotes by David Sedaris
At first, writing for The New Yorker was very scary to me. I couldn't imagine anything that I would write in that typeface.
~ David Sedaris
New Yorker Profiles quotes by David Sedaris
Thou shalt not live within thy means
Nor on plain water and raw greens.
If thou must choose
Between the chances, choose the odd;
Read The New Yorker, trust in God;
And take short views. ~ W. H. Auden
New Yorker Profiles quotes by W. H. Auden
Beware: I'm unafraid to host a big spoiler party--a novel that can be truly "spoiled" by the summary of its plot is a novel that was already spoiled by that plot. ~ James Wood
New Yorker Profiles quotes by James Wood
I'm constantly saying, 'I read a fascinating article in 'The New Yorker' ... ' I say it so often that sometimes I think I have nothing interesting to say myself, I merely regurgitate 'The New Yorker.' ~ Emma Donoghue
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Emma Donoghue
I've been a New Yorker for ten years, and the only people who are nice to us turn out to be Moonies. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
New Yorker Profiles quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Toward nightfall, Khrenov's temperature had risen. The thermometer was warm, alive - the column of mercury climbed high on the little red ladder. For a long time he muttered unintelligibly, kept biting his lips and gently shaking his head. Then he fell asleep. Natasha undressed by a candle's wan flame, and saw her reflection in the murky glass of the window - her pale, thin neck, the dark braid that had fallen across her clavicle. She stood like that, in motionless languor, and suddenly it seemed to her that the room, together with the couch, the table littered with cigarette stubs, the bed on which, with open mouth, a sharp-nosed, sweaty old man slept restlessly - all this started to move, and was now floating, like the deck of a ship, into the black night. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
To be a New Yorker is to be away from the city and feel like you are missing something ~ Bill Hayes
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Bill Hayes
I think in terms of being a New Yorker, as my friends would say, I don't take a lot of mess. I have no tolerance for people who are not thinking deeply about things. I have no tolerance for the kind of small talk that people need to fill silence. And I have no tolerance for people just not being a part of the world and being in it and trying to change it. ~ Jacqueline Woodson
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Jacqueline Woodson
I've lived in other cities - Rome, Dublin, Mexico City - but I was born in New York City, and I always lived in those other places as a New Yorker. ~ Pete Hamill
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Pete Hamill
ANOTHER TWILIGHT
Allow the point of the Croccodrillo
its hazy cypress trees in profile
Like a rough sketch for the Isle
of the Dead, as seen from yellow
stucco, his Villa Igea where Lawrence
finished "Sons and Lovers," wild thyme
scenting olive-grove grass, crime
scenery come back to more than once.
Again you're mirrored in lake shadow,
a white sail flaking on its turquoise
wavelets, keep awake by traffic noise
Along the Gardesana...and you know
that this beauty's unbearable as before
even if seen from its opposite shore. ~ Peter Robinson
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Peter Robinson
'The New Yorker' didn't invent the magazine cartoon, but it did really establish it. ~ Robert Mankoff
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Robert Mankoff
I felt uncomfortable calling myself a writer until I started with 'The New Yorker,' and then I was like, 'Okay, now you can call yourself that.' ~ David Sedaris
New Yorker Profiles quotes by David Sedaris
I'm a New Yorker, you know. ~ Edward Norton
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Edward Norton
But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker. ~ Jason Alexander
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Jason Alexander
My parents put the New Yorker in my crib. I saw Vogue and Vanity Fair around the house before I could read. ~ Richard Avedon
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Richard Avedon
I definitely feel like a native New Yorker. My personality was formed there. ~ Nicole Holofcener
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Nicole Holofcener
I see and write things first as an artist, second as a woman, and third as a New Yorker. All three have built-in perspectives that aren't neutral. ~ Laurie Anderson
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Laurie Anderson
Stewart, with the help of his incredibly astute staff, was combining reporting with commentary, pointing a finger at stupidity and hollowness, and devising a creative hand grenade. All of it had political purpose and direction. It wasn't strictly ideological, although he's obviously left of center. And he was fearless, not in the sense that anybody was going to make him a political prisoner. But he punched up. He punched up, and the shots landed.

I don't think the world is any more absurd now than it's ever been, or more tragic, or more beautiful. But Jon took advantage of these new ways of seeing the world and took out his magic marker and drew circles around the idiocy. He set out to be a working comedian, and he ended up an invaluable patriot. He wants his country to be better, more decent, and to think harder.

~ DAVID REMNICK, editor in chief, the New Yorker ~ Chris Smith
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Chris Smith
A community of seriously hip observers is a scary and depressing thing. ~ J.D. Salinger
New Yorker Profiles quotes by J.D. Salinger
Being female was just one more way I felt different and weird. I was also a young 'un, and also my cartoons were not like typical 'New Yorker' cartoons. ~ Roz Chast
New Yorker Profiles quotes by Roz Chast
Every writer at the New Yorker is smarter than me. ~ Bob Dylan
