Quotes:

-- Pete Hamill I live in Brooklyn. By choice.
-- A House on the Heights
Truman Capote Where I grew up in Brooklyn we were too unhappy to commit suicide.
-- Crimes and Misdemeanors, 1989 movie
Yetta Zimmerman's house may have been the most openheartedly monochromatic structure in Brooklyn, if not in all of New York.

-- Sophie's Choice
William Styron
