The nameless loser in Jay McInerney's 'Bright Lights, Big City' is going to the dogs like a gentleman. He is too smart to blame anyone for the impasse he has come to, hip enough to know he does not know enough, too sophisticated to masquerade as an anti-hero.

Chicago seems a big city instead of merely a large place.

Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.

Whether you live in a big city or a small town, a call placed by a loved one, friend, or customer should go through.

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.

Moscow is a big city. It's all nerves - something's always happening somewhere. D.C. is a quiet, calm family town.

Alexander Ovechkin

I do explore the city if I have the time for it, but normally, I would rather stay relaxed at home. London can be a stressful place because it's crowded and it's a big city.

On the Web we all become small-town visitors lost in the big city.

Having lived in a big city like Mumbai, I feel it gives you another personality in a way.

Where I'm from, Toronto, is a big city.

I don't think you ever think of a big city as sweet or community, but there are cities that I think of as charming and particular and interesting cities. I live in one now, Charleston.

Part of the greatness of being on the Island is it's a smaller community; all of the players live within a couple miles of each other. It really promotes that family sort of atmosphere without being engulfed by the big city.

Barry Trotz

Living and working in the centre of a city, one cannot but be affected by the sight of the homeless on the streets. They are almost an expected feature of life in a big city, and it is tempting to think there is little or nothing that can, or even should, be done about it. This is not so.

When you go to the big city - you're in New York, Boston, you're in L.A. - you walk in the streets, and nobody says anything to you. It becomes so impersonal because there's so many people.

Ben Howland

You York Walk

There is a dark side to being single in a great big city like New York. There's this sense of isolation and I think you can get fairly desperate.

Brad Hall

I love Chicago. I love the big city. But, remember, I come from a town, Lovington, N.M., that only has 8,000 people.

Brian Urlacher

L.A. is such a big city, and there's so much going on. I mean, you know you're in L.A. when you can just hear sirens all the time.

Cassie Steele

I'd sometimes go to Paris by myself - it was an easy two-hour train ride - to get a break from the everyday grind, to walk around a big city, ride a subway, feel the energy of a world capital.

I didn't want kids to think that to be happy, they had to be famous or rich or live in the big city.

Dan Savage

My dad grew up in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, desperate to get to London. I grew up in London, so I don't know what it's like to yearn for the big city from a small town.

Daniel Radcliffe

When I was in high school I moved from the big city to a tiny village of 500 people in Vermont. It was like The Waltons!

I think growing up in the shadow of New York shaped me for life. Hey, you come from Jersey, you get used to being dumped on by the big city.

David Bryan

I would rather be the only horse in a one-horse town than be the third horse in a big city.

David Lichtenstein

Moving to Flagstaff from the big city of Melbourne taught me what it takes to become a better runner. For one, there is the altitude, but more importantly, seeking the best is about being surrounded by the best.

David McNeill

Portland has all the accoutrements of a big city, but the heart and soul of it is a small town, so that creates an intimacy in a large environment.

Dean Devlin

The University of Memphis didn't have the flashy profile or the national exposure. It's a great university. I love the offense. I love the atmosphere, the big city. They have everything I want. The only knock against them is they are not a great team.

DeAngelo Williams

When I was growing up, I just wanted to be somewhere else. I didn't like living in Knockemstiff, and I figured when I got older, I'd move off to some big city.

Donald Ray Pollock

Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of being a Big City kid, because I grew up in a very small town up north in Canada. I have to say I just love the city lights at night.

Dustin Milligan

Well, I've always been interested in approaching a big city in a train, and I can't exactly describe the sensations, but they're entirely human and perhaps have nothing to do with aesthetics.

Edward Hopper

Most people, if you live in a big city, you see some form of schizophrenia every day, and it's always in the form of someone homeless. 'Look at that guy - he's crazy. He looks dangerous.' Well, he's on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home.

Eric McCormack

In Brussels, you are able to have a lot of appointments in a day. In Paris, you can have one, two, maybe three, but you spend all your time on the road, in the car or in the suburbs. In Brussels, everything is easy. It's not a very big city, and the people are very quiet and warm.

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

When I thought about Detroit, I would think big city, very urban - not a lot of places to walk around, not a lot of parks. I sort of pictured Manhattan almost, where, besides Central Park, it's all city and big buildings. But now that I'm here, you see people pushing strollers, people hanging out in the park.

Erin Cummings

In those early years in New York when I was a stranger in a big city, it was the companionship and later friendship which I was offered in the Linnean Society that was the most important thing in my life.

Ernst Mayr

Why should I leave Ruleville, and why should I leave Mississippi? I go to the big city, and with the kind of education they give us in Mississippi, I got problems. I'd wind up in a soup line there.

Fannie Lou Hamer

The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.

Federico Garcia Lorca

I guess I just always had this idea that I would go to Hollywood. I had the typical 'get up and go' attitude that you have to have in order to make the brave step into the big city.

Felicia Day

Madrid is not as big as London, but it is true when you are coming from a big city like Madrid, nothing is going to surprise you, and I am very happy to move to a city like London. It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have.

Fernando Torres

To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.

Frank Lloyd Wright

When you look at a city, you know, it looks so unique. You feel this kind of uniqueness, you know, and especially if you go from a big city to a small city or if you go from one country to another. Cities look very different, often. They even feel very different. You know, and they are, of course. They certainly are.

Geoffrey West

Holding true to what you believe - even in a big city - is so important.

Gretchen Carlson

The Democratic Party is made up of trial lawyers, labor unions, government employees, big city political machines, the coercive utopians, the radical environmentalists, feminists, and others who want to restructure society with tax dollars and government fiat.

Grover Norquist

In the Big City, different feels good, like blazing a trail. In a small town, though, different can feel like trying real hard to look special. Or even like rubbing your neighbor's nose in your success.

Hank Green

I have always loved Manhattan, the bright lights, the big city!

Hilary Farr

When I got out of college, I moved to Seattle because it was the nearest big city and still didn't know if I wanted to be a composer, conductor, singer, actor. I just got day jobs and auditioned and took what came, and the theater doors were the ones opening the most.

J. K. Simmons

I picked Harvard because it was in a big city, and a lot of girls' schools were nearby. And I liked President Kennedy, who went to Harvard.

Jack Canfield

What I really like is that Chicago is a big city: it has a large market, and you are exposed to everything, like shows and plays.

Jalen Rose

The pressure of survival in the big city will make you lose sight of your dream... Hang in there.

James De La Vega

When my trust fund ran out, I panicked. I have a lot of admiration for the kids who come to the big city with nothing and make it.

James St. James

Going to New York to do whatever - show business - it just seemed fun. It seemed fun to go to the big city and meet all kinds of different people and maybe be famous. It was just exciting. So I wasn't scared.

January Jones

In the end, it was a no-brainer to join West Ham, but I still needed to take five minutes to myself because it's a big moment for anyone to move club, especially off the pitch when it involves moving to a big city. You've got to take every single factor into consideration because it's a big decision in your life.
