“You can have a hangover from other things than alcohol. I had one from women.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

“It is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar.”

“I learned about life
from life itself,
love I learned in a single kiss
and could teach no one anything
except that I have lived
with something in common among men.”

“Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”
― E.B. White, Here Is New York
