Perfect little summary of this city of mine…

“New York throbs with impatience and aggression, suspicion and paranoia seething just below the surface, the hysteria and panic always latent. Ours is a city of confrontation, the rule of thumb to confront or be confronted. We’re all competing here, for jobs, for money, for space. Competing, in this ecosystem so harsh yet fragile, to get through the day and live our lives and survive to the next. That vibe of hostility is inescapable, like the air and the light.”
