Amor Towles
“Give evey [person] thine ear, but few thy voice.”
Amor Towles, Table for Two

Amor Towles
“One of the indisputable charms of the Metropolitan Museum is that the admission of twenty dollars is “recommended.” The very notion of a recommended fee is so perfectly aristocratic. For to set a definitive price on access to the riches of the world’s cultures after the robber barons had gone to such trouble to pillage them on our behalf would simply have been tacky.”
Amor Towles, Table for Two

Amor Towles
“—Do you miss it? —The relationship? —No, the city. —As far as I’m concerned, the Rockies aren’t high enough.”
Amor Towles, Table for Two

“The limitations of choosing a twenty-pound turkey as the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal have only been compounded by the inexplicable tradition of having every member of the family contribute a dish. Relatives who should never be allowed to set foot in a kitchen are suddenly walking through your door with some sort of vegetable casserole in which the “secret ingredient” is mayonnaise. And when cousin Betsy arrives with such a mishap in hand, one can take no comfort from thoughts of the future, for once a single person politely compliments the dish, its presence at Thanksgiving will be deemed sacrosanct. Then not even the death of cousin Betsy can save you from it, because as soon as she’s in the grave, her daughter will proudly pick up the baton.”
Amor Towles, Table for Two

“People get hung up on happiness and joy, but fun will take you at least as far and it's generally cheaper to obtain.”
