A quote from "Portnoy's Complaint"

"'Don't you see what my life is? You think I like being nobody? You think I'm crazy about my hollow life? I hate it! I hate New York! I don't ever want to go back to that sewer! I want to live in Vermont, Commissioner! I want to live in Vermont with you - and be an adult, whatever the he'll that is! I want to be Mrs. Somebody-I-Can-Look-Up-To. And Admire! And Listen To!'" -Philip Roth
