“New York is a place where the first movement is one of anxiety: so many stressed people — hundreds, thousands, millions — dashing through the streets, whose only purpose seems to be to keep the city going. No social connections, no friendliness. There, you don’t feel the weight of history or of what is to come: everything is in the here and now, in a permanent, futureless present. … Above all, you understand what it means to be alone in the middle of a crowd. You live with a premonition of catastrophe, but an elated premonition, hanging at the edge of madness.”
― Hélène Grimaud, Wild Harmonies: A Life of Music and Wolves
