Quote by Allan Sherman

Adultery - which is the only grounds for divorce in New York - is not grounds for divorce in California. As a matter of fact, adultery in Southern California is grounds for marriage.

Adultery - which is the only grounds for divorce in New York

Summary

This quote suggests a contrasting perspective on the concept of adultery and its consequences in different states. In New York, adultery is the sole justification for divorce, highlighting the negative implications of infidelity. However, the quote humorously suggests that in Southern California, adultery may paradoxically lead to marriage, indicating a more accepting or nonjudgmental view on extramarital affairs in that region. This lighthearted observation underscores the diversity of opinions and cultural norms surrounding relationships and divorce laws across different geographical locations.

When I hit a block, regardless of what I am writing, what the subject matter is, or what's going on in the plot, I go back and I read Pablo Neruda's poetry. I don't actually speak Spanish, so I read it translation. But I always go back to Neruda. I don't know why, but it calms me, calms my brain.

Authority has always attracted the lowest elements in the human race. All through history mankind has been bullied by scum. Those who lord it over their fellows and toss commands in every direction and would boss the grass in the meadow about which way to bend in the wind are the most depraved kind of prostitutes. They will submit to any indignity, perform any vile act, do anything to achieve power. The worst off-sloughings of the planet are the ingredients of sovereignty. Every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy the whores are us.
