"В моих мемуарах образ Дягилева остался живым и, как я смею думать, правдивым, но этот образ был слишком интимным: он был эскизом портрета Сергея Павловича Дягилева, а не С. П. Дягилева, великого человека, создателя новой художественной культуры, создателя новой эстетики, создателя "Мира искусства" и Русского балета. Я так живо представил себе это, что наедине с самим собой, перед самим собой густо покраснел и сейчас же откинул для себя возможность этого. Нет, все, что угодно, только не это — я никогда не стану "фаворитом"! Но что же тогда делать?

The Southern Fault Line explores the under-appreciated division in the South between the oligarchic rule of plantation owners and industrialists on the one hand, and the more democratic mindset of the mountain-dwelling small farmers on the other.

بعض الأشياء في هذا العالم لا يجب أن تُقال، لا لغبائها ولا لقلة أهميتها ولكن بسبب الخوف من ردة فعل الناس... مثل العسلاج عندما يبدأ بالنمو مخضراً، يبدو خجلاً لكن بداخله وردة جميلة ستزهر يوماً ما. أذكر كنت ذات مرة في زيارة لبعض الأصدقاء فطلبت من شخص مناولتي الشاي فقال: والله رأيت هذه اللحظة من قبل، رأيتك وأنت تمد يدك لتأخذ الشاي في نفس الجلسة ونفس المكان، وقال: ربما حلمت بهذا المنظر في منامي وتحقق اليوم...
