Summary

This quote suggests that society is currently experiencing an abundance of freedom, which is exemplified by the chaotic and diverse environment found on 42nd Street in Broadway. It implies that individuals now have unprecedented liberty and openness to express themselves and pursue their desires. However, it could also be interpreted as a criticism, insinuating that this excessive freedom has led to a lack of order and control in society, symbolized by the bustling and sometimes disorderly nature of the street.

Neither of us knows what the public will think. There's no doubt in my mind that I have found out how to begin (at forty) to say something in my own voice; and that interests me so that I feel I can go ahead without praise.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
