Eric Garcetti Quotes
I'm in what feels like a pretty transparent fishbowl as mayor. People see you at the market, people see you at the diner, people see you wherever you are, talk to you. You don't shave, they're taking selfies of you. You come back from your jog, they're talking to you.

All peoples are entangled in the net of the world market.
C. L. R. James
In America, snobs who wouldn't be seen dead with a lottery ticket play the stock market. We like to gamble. Winning, we have closed our eyes, leapt across the yawning abyss, and landed knee-deep in daisies. Even losing has a certain gloomy glamour: the gods of chance are worthy opponents; we have engaged them in hand-to-hand combat and though we lost, at least we shrank not from the contest.
Barbara Holland
She said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight,
And I believe, in the morning you'll begin to see the light.
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right,
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover, fifty ways to leave your lover.
