Quotes by Scott Dominic Carpenter (?)

“It’s all part of the pedagogic reflex, which in France is as common as acid reflux, an involuntary burping up of knowledge. In this part of the world people are still infatuated with knowing things, whereas in the States we have outsourced that pesky task to Google.”
― Scott Dominic Carpenter, French Like Moi: A Midwesterner in Paris

“Time hadn’t eroded his tattered clothes—eyes had. The unrelenting gaze of passersby had worn him down.”

“This is the key: the open-air market is partly about food, but mostly about relationships.”
