You don't really have to go anywhere in particular in New York City to have a good time. In every part of town, there's always something going on. It helps to know people there, too, because everything changes so fast, and they will be able to point out what's hot this month. Tibor Fischer

A city like Bombay, like New York, that is a recent creation on the planet and does not have a substantial indigenous population, is full of restless people.

As I have discovered, having once moved, it is difficult to stop moving. Suketu Mehta
new-york light years
It is very different to make a practical system and to introduce it. A few experiments in the laboratory would prove the practicability of system long before it could be brought into general use.

I'll bet that if it were discovered to-morrow in New York that gas could be made out of coal it would be at least five years before the system would be in general use. Thomas A. Edison

Jazz musicians keep things spontaneous and very "live," which is the way I like to perform. Tony Bennett
