Famous quotes containing the words local and/or time:
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Progress of a marriage:
“There was a time when you couldn’t
make me happy.
Now the time has come when you can’t
make me unhappy.””
—Irving Layton (b. 1912)
