“Paris was sad. One of the saddest towns: weary of its now-mechanical sensuality, weary of the tension of money, money, money, weary even of resentment and conceit, just weary to death, and still not sufficiently Americanized or Londonized to hide the weariness under a mechanical jig-jig-jig!” StillsTownsSensualityParisTensionResentmentWearyConceitSaddestWeariness Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“The most disgusting, appalling horror of our world that we live in, to me, is sex trafficking and the enslavement of men and women, boys and girls, in the sex industry. That is the most horrific, horrific thing that's happening and it's happening in all of our towns here in Los Angeles, in New York, in London, in Paris, all over the world, and I think that's really what has to be addressed.” ThinkingMenWorldGirlSexBoysNew YorkIndustryHorrorHappeningsMen And WomenTownsLondonParisLos AngelesOur WorldDisgustingBoy And GirlHorrificEnslavementTraffickingOur Town Author:Taylor Hackford

“What's this about?" "Finally. Interest," was the only response. "If this is one of your tricks..." Like the time Torin had ordered hundreds of blow-up dolls and placed them throughout the fortress, all because Paris had foolishly complained about the lack of female companionship in town. The plastic "ladies" had stared our from every corner, their wide eyes and let-me-suck-you mouths taunting everyone who passed them. Things like that happened when Torin was bored.” IfsEyeInterestHappenedMouthsFemaleLet MeTownsResponseBlowCornersWideTricksBoredParisPlasticCompanionshipDollsFortressesTauntingWide Eyes Book:The Darkest Night Source: The Darkest Night
“Every time I look down on this timeless town Whether blue or gray be her skies. Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears, More and more do I realize: I love Paris in the springtime. I love Paris in the fall. I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles. I love Paris every moment, Every moment of the year.
