Quote by Sloane Crosley

Like most citizens of popular and international urban centres, I don't take advantage of the cultural opportunities. Perhaps this comes from growing up in suburbia. Home is where you eat, sleep, read, watch television and ignore your parents. It is not where you go to the ballet and then attend a heated panel discussion about it afterwards.

Summary

They suggest that their upbringing in a suburban environment may influence this behavior, where the focus was primarily on home comforts and personal interests rather than engaging with cultural events. The quote highlights the contrast between using home as a place for routine activities and the more active engagement one can have with the arts and intellectual discussions in cosmopolitan settings.
