“I think people are always looking for gurus. It's the easiest thing in the world to become a guru. It's quite terrifying. I once saw something fascinating here in New York.

“New York is the biggest mouth in the world.

One achieved it by forcing all words out through the nostrils rather than the mouth. It was at once virile... and utterly affected. Nelson Rockefeller had a New York Honk.” New YorkSpringMouthsMalesAffectedAccentsFashionableNelson Author:Tom Wolfe
