He wept that he was ever born,
And he had reasons.”

“Only in America ... do these peasants, our mothers, get their hair dyed platinum at the age of sixty, and walk up and down Collins Avenue in Florida in pedalpushers and mink stoles—and with opinions on every subject under the sun.

—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
