"God could have made a more beautiful place than Staten Island, but he never did." - George William Curtis
"Staten Island... is one of the sweetest spots on our globe. Travel where he may, the voyager fails to find a place where all the comforts and elegance of life are more profusely concentrated than on this island-suburb of the great metropolis America." - John Overton Choules, The Cruise of the Steam Yacht North Star (New York: Evans & Dickerson; Boston: Gould & Lincoln, 1854), p. 349
