“There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, 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 New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these trembling cities the greatest is the last–the city of final destination, the city that is a goal”.  

[From "Here is New York" (1948) by E. B. White]

Both images illustrate the rush, the immediate, the necessity, the accelerated rhythm, and the urgency that moves the city.

People are always so busy… and have to go somewhere… and do not have time… and have a lot of stuff to do…
