    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “I do not keep a diary. Never have. To write a diary every day is like returning to one’s own vomit.”
