There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter — the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. ...Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.

I think when you're in school it's really important to pay attention to, 'What do I have a passion for? What path makes sense for me?' ... And even if it's inconvenient and difficult, I think it's important to pursue it.
We've been talking to some of Nordstrom's online users, who are very, very important customers, and they talk about how when they go online sometimes they shop and sometimes they look for fashion inspiration.
We just played bigger people the last two games. We're not going to play 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10 Thursday. I think we should be all right.
We were overdue for a bounce after some very oversold conditions. Maybe we are getting to a point where the market is beaten-up enough.
We missed a lot of tackles, and to beat a team like that you have to do a better job of tackling.
We went after the worst of the worst and told them, 'You will not commit crimes here any longer,'
We felt Brandon would have some opportunities in this game. He needed to take advantage of them and he did. He's been playing at a high level and he's been a tremendous spark in every football game we've played.
We felt at the time of the initial offer that there was no way they'd be able to do it as cheaply as we do it ourselves, but out of fairness we went through the process and let them work the figures out,
We expected McAlister to play against us, because he was so effective in the third Test against the Lions. They obviously have a plan. We must just choose the best possible team to beat the All Blacks.
We changed the name because of the mission of our church to reach out to people who are un-churched, those who are far away from God. Sometimes denominational names can raise barriers for people. So many people here were not raised in the cultural South, and they have pretty stereotypical ideas about what Baptists are like.
We are trying to improve as individuals and as a team. We have had some 5-10 minute spurts where we have been playing well, but we have not been able to string them together. With our style of play, we want to hold on to the ball longer. We have been trying to increase our soccer knowledge, where we can learn what we need to do to make the adjustments on the field.
We're going to win -- I promise you.
