I was thinking earlier that to know this city you must first become penniless, because pennilessness (real pennilessness, I mean not having $2 for the subway) forces you to walk everywhere and you see the city best on foot.

About This Quote

The city streets are filled with people from all walks of life. Each one is a separate entity as they go about their business. In the streets you can feel as though you are belonging to another world, bigger and richer than your own. The streets are a world where strangers meet and make friends.

It’s a world where everyone can find support and assistance in their time of need. Being penniless forces you to go out and look for a job, which means that you do not have much time to spend each day on the streets.
