“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.”
—Paul Simon (b. 1949)

“You may raise enough money to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business.”
