To embrace cultural otherness too eagerly is betray a flaw in one's own identity.
-Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
A wood without pigs is like a ballroom without women.
- James Buchan
At a State Department reception I once met a gloomy Argentine banker, a certain Señor della Porta, who discoursed about his country's greatest failure. With a good climate and much natural wealth, Argentina had failed to evolve a liberal and stable party of the middle class. "One day, however," he said, "we will indeed succeed in having such a party and such a leadership. And our slogan will be" – here he brightened up a bit – "'Moderation or Death!'"
- Christopher Hitchens
