Cornell Woolrich Quote
That air of electric tension, of a great city on the edge of an abyss, is more noticeable than ever at the White Russian cabaret called, not inappropriately, New York. You wouldn't know you were in China. An almond-eyed platinum-blonde has just finished wailing, with a Mott Street accent, You're gonna lose your gal. (Jane Brown's Body)
