— Paula Fox"A year and a half after the end of the war and the German occupation, Paris was muted and looked bruised and forlorn. Everywhere I went, I sensed the tracks of the wolf that had tried to devour the city. But Paris proved inedible, as it had been ever since its tribal beginnings on an island in the Seine, the Ile de la Cité."

Racism is not about hurtful words, bruised feelings, political correctness, or refusing to call short people 'vertically challenged.'
