Memorable Quotes
-
“Time is liquid. One moment is no more important than any other and all moments quickly run away.”
Rabo Karabekian -
“It was and remains easy for most Americans to go somewhere else to start anew. I wasn't like my parents. I didn't have any supposedly sacred piece of land or shoals of friends and relatives to leave behind. Nowhere has the number zero been more of philosophical value than in the United States.”
Rabo Karabekian
First Sentence
HAVING WRITTEN ''The End'' to this story of my life, I find it prudent to scamper back here to before the beginning, to my front door, so to speak, and to make this apology to arriving guests: "I promised you an autobiography, but something went wrong in the kitchen.''
