Summary

This quote suggests that the people who choose to live in New Orleans do so not because it is convenient or comfortable, but because they feel a unique connection and attachment to the city that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Despite the challenges and difficulties that come with living there, they find it impossible to imagine residing anywhere else. It implies that their relationship with New Orleans goes beyond the logical or practical aspects of living and instead stems from a deep emotional bond or a sense of belonging.

If everybody is rewarded just for being alive, you get the same sort of effect as you do when you reward every student just for being enrolled. You destroy not only education, you destroy society by giving A's to everyone. This is a philosophical consideration that bothers me very much as I sit in the United States Senate and see the great budget allocations going through.

Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of a man he is? Surely what pops out before the man has time to put on a disguise is the truth? If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me an ill-tempered man; it only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am. The rats are always there in the cellar, but if you go in shouting and noisily they will have taken cover before you switch on the light.
