“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”
— Hugh Laurie

“It appeared that at 4:43 in the morning New York did in fact sleep, and the city was at once beautiful and terribly sad, and the weary doorman counted down to the end of his shift, the lights of the Met dimmed low and its grand steps stood tired from overuse, the streets were bare all for but the reluctant few heading towards and over and past the Queensboro Bridge, and at 4:43 in the morning the city had lost the proud look of it, like a fallen goddess, and the bright lights of the Chrysler and the Empire that shone so majestically in postcards were dull and muted, incapable of overshadowing the serene sadness of the city that was now finally asleep. It was impossible to ever leave such a beautiful place, but should you ever have to, then never look back for too long, for it would surely break your heart.”
