«"I want you to feel as insulted as I feel, not stick me with the whole thing. Why don't you have any indignation, Charlie - Ah! You're not a real American. You're grateful. You're a foreigner. You have that Jewish immigrant kiss-the-ground-at-Ellis-Island gratitude. You're also a child of the Depression. You never thought you'd have a job, with an office, and a desk, and private drawers all for yourself. It's still so hilarious to you that you can't stop laughing. You're a Yiddisher mouse in these great Christian houses. At the same time, you're too snooty to look at anyone.»

Humboldt's gift, Saul Bellow
