“world is a drama, we are the actors with our play role”
Michale Callahan, Too Politically Sensitive: Since When Is Murder Too Politically Sensitive

Jeffrey Eugenides
“After the Second World War, San Francisco was the main point of re-entry for sailors returning from the Pacific. Out at sea, many of these sailors had picked up amatory habits that were frowned upon back on dry land. So these sailors stayed in San Francisco . . .”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex
