Synthesis of the World

Lever House

"New York is a synthesis of the world, it's Planet Earth on a small scale, so that we human beings who are so much smaller, may have if not the total opportunity, at least something, through the window called New York,  with which to see ourselves, to see the world in which we live, or to half-see it and get the rest by intuition."
Roberto Quesada, The Big Banana
