“Everything in this city carries contradictions, as if it is made up of entities broken into fragments. Inside each individual there are two persons, the ectoperson and the endoper-son. The one on the surface is respectable, polite, sincere, and open, while deep inside numerous other personalities lurk: thieves, traitors, bigots, and puritans. People change these inner personas just like they change their clothes, according to the weather, the place, the situation.”
