    Pull out a Monte Cristo at a dinner party and the political liberal turns into the nicotine fascist.
    Martyn Harris (b. 1952)

    A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning’s greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications.... Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
