“To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world—impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito.”

“Oh, a sleeping drunkard
Up in Central Park,
And a lion-hunter
In the jungle dark,
And a Chinese dentist,
And a British queen--

Nice, nice, very nice--
So many different people
In the same device.”
― Cat’s Cradle

“You can’t buy it, but it has a price,” said Oryx. “Everything has a price.”
