This quote highlights one of the unique aspects of America's consumer culture: regardless of their economic status, people tend to buy similar goods.

An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.

My dad and mom divorced when I was around ten, and I didn't live with him after that, though he was close by and we saw each other weekly.
