Aquarius

Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal

"Do you realize that one can't look in any direction in Manhattan without seeing water at the end of the street: the Harbor, the Hudson and East Rivers, the Narrows, and even the Atlantic. Here we are entering the age of Aquarius, the age of water, with New York the wateriest city in the entire world. Yet we, who could be beachcombers on a dozen exciting waterfronts, live here as if we were in the middle of the Sahara!"
Helen Hayes and Anita Loos, Twice Over Lightly

Companionship

East River Waterfront

"The most positive thing of all is that nobody ever has to be alone in New York. You're alone with New York, which makes a whole world of difference. What other companionship could be so varied, stimulating, dramatic, and so available?"
Anita Loos and Helen Hayes, quoted in New York: The Big Apple Quote Book
