Quotation of the Day for March 30, 2013"You see two or three of them behind nearly every bar -- a fat, defeated tribe who lead a melancholy indoor life of gossip, mahjongg, drink and bridge.... Their clocks stopped in 1917. It had been tea-time ever since." - W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, in Journey to a War, writing about the White Russians in Hankow, China, during the 1930s.
