“Anybody who sits and says, 'I know New York' is from out of town.” — Pete Hamill Quote

“Anybody who sits and says, 'I know New York' is from out of town.”

“I usually wake up at 7, 7:15, without an alarm. I hate the sound of an alarm.”

“Reporters now are better educated than the crowd I knew when I broke in. We still had guys shaped by Prohibition and the Depression, so the news business still had badly paid people who loved it for the life, because every day was different.”

“I don't like being run out of any town.”

“How can you wonder what's going to happen when you don't know who's going to be the new guy in town?”

“I've been in this business for years and I'm still befuddled by the ways of this town.”
