John von Sothen
“I realize now, the life 
of an étranger is much like being the only child of older parents who hold tons of cocktail parties. You’re embarrassed for being there and it’s obvious you stand out. You’re treated (often) like a child. You don’t know the formal codes and you’re learning on the fly. Since you assume people are feigning interest in you, you pick up tics and quick-witted dodges to make yourself more endearing or to better hide your deficiencies. And in the end, you go to your room exhausted, not really sure if you had a good time, not really sure why you were there in the first place, but content nonetheless.”
John von Sothen, Monsieur Mediocre: One American Learns the High Art of Being Everyday French

Anurag Shourie
“When you can’t handle the heady concoction of wine and women, it’s time to pack up your bags and quit.”
Anurag Shourie, Half A Shadow
