what they really think of us
Odi Profanum Vulgus
“Millions of people”she said”swarming like rats,chattering like apes,smelling like all hell…monkeys..or lice I suppose.For one really exquisite palace.. on Long Island,say,or even in Greenwich..for one palace full of pictures from the Old World and exquisite things-with avenues of trees and green lawns and a view of the blue sea,and lovely people about in slick dresses..I’d sacrifice a hundred thousand of them,a million of them”..I care nothing for them-understand me?
-‘The Beautiful And The Damned’ by F.Scott Fitzgerald
