    “The progress
    Is permanent like the preordained bulk
    Of the First National Bank
    Like fish sauce, but agreeable.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “...I want to see a film, they send the Israeli army reserves to escort me! What kind of life is this?”
