pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
“A society in crisis teaches itself to congeal into one story only, and see reality through very narrow glasses. But there is never only one story."
—David Grossman, interview, New York Times, December 13, 2003
(This quote has been widely misattributed to Amos Oz. In the original interview with Israeli novelists David Grossman, Amos Oz, and A. B. Yehoshua, Mr. Oz does have many of the best lines, but this one actually belongs to Mr. Grossman.)
Disclaimer: The views expressed in this random quote of the day do not necessarily reflect the views of the poster, her immediate family, Siegfried and Roy, Leonard Maltin, or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. They do, however, sometimes reflect the views of the Cottingley Fairies.
