“Reality TV... The curse of the twenty-first century. Why were people so fascinated by being spectators to other people's lives? Watching people bake cakes, build tree houses, or just invading rich families' living rooms. It was like watching a soap opera without the plot.”
― Adam Rabinowitz, Garage Band

“...feeling again that sensation of being completely invisible in a room full of people; a feeling he had come to loath.”
― Adam Rabinowitz, Garage Band

“One could see that he was fearfully bored, but that he was valiantly keeping up the part of the man perfectly happy and enjoying himself.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Christmas Tree and the Wedding

“I squeezed my way through the crowd and saw a marvelous beauty, who could scarcely have reached her first season. But the beauty was pale and melancholy. She looked preoccupied; I even fancied that her eyes were red with recent weeping. The classic severity of every feature of her face gave a certain dignity and seriousness to her beauty. But through that sternness and dignity, through that melancholy, could be seen the look of childish innocence; something indescribably naïve, fluid, youthful, which seemed mutely begging for mercy.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Christmas Tree and the Wedding
