Quote
The Europeans hate us because we’ve retired to live inside our advertisements, like hermits going into caves to contemplate. We sleep in symbolic bedrooms, eat symbolic meals, are symbolically entertained- and that terrifies them, that fills them with fury and loathing because they can never understand it.

Quote
Amerikāņiem piemīt liela nelaime. Viņi ir bara cilvēki. Viņi grib iet uz augšu pūļos un tāpēc arī laižas dibenā baros, cits aiz cita kā auni, Tā tas te gājis no zeltraču laikiem līdz lielajai depresijai un šodienai. Cilvēkam, kam pietiek dūšas būt drusku savādākam nekā citi, šinī zemē ir laba un ērta dzīve.
