“In any discussion of diversity, over time the probability of mention of restaurants becomes one.”
Brett Stevens

Christopher Hitchens
“Let's just go in and enjoy ourselves,' Yvonne had said after a long moment when the Hitchens family had silently reviewed the menu—actually of the prices not the courses—outside a restaurant on our first and only visit to Paris. I knew at once that the odds against enjoyment had shortened (or is it lengthened? I never remember).”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir
