Empire State of Mind

“The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and beauty in the world.” Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald

“New York was no mere city. It was instead an infinitely romantic notion, the mysterious nexus of all love and money and power, the shining and the perishable dream itself. To think of 'living' there was to reduce the miraculous to the mundane; one does not 'live' at Xanadu.”- Joan Didion

“From the minute I arrived, I knew the only place my dreams would come true was New York. So I continued to think of it while sitting in my boring math class, knowing the only way I could escape from high school, is if I could escape to New York” – Breanna Northrup

“One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.”
Tom Wolfe
