Philippe Petit on New York
What do you hate most about living in New York? Having to sleep a few hours at night when the city is busy offering ephemeral myths, mysteries, and miracles. Where do you go to be alone? At the top of WTC, which still stands, reaching the clouds, inside my head. What makes someone a New Yorker? The certitude that this city is a continent and its inhabitants citizens of the world.
