Self love, divine love, romantic and platonic love, queer and straight love, body love, hood love. This issue of Quoted is a tribute to universal love: the kind of love that makes a place like New York possible.
New York is the greatest experiment in coexistence and tolerance. The entire world is represented in 302.6 square miles, over 800 languages, a variety of religions, hundreds of ethnicities, innumerable subcultures, and an infinity of dreams. Somehow, some way, we have reached an understanding: as long as we approach each other with good intentions and respect, we belong here.
In New York, there is a tolerance for all kinds of love, a tolerance that you can’t find in many other parts of the world. That acceptance is a beautiful, integral part of the city’s soul. Be whomever you want to be, whenever you want. Love the way you want, how you want, whom you want.
