“What a lonely and silly thing it is to be an Armenian writer in America.”
“To Armenians, half Armenians, quarter Armenians, and one-eight Armenians. Sixteen and thirty-second Armenians, and other winners, are likelier to be happy with a useful book”
“...lonely-chrome America.”
“America is a lonely crock of shit...”
“Lonely as America, a throatpierced sound in the night.”
“I'd rather be a silly old fool than a lonely old woman.”
