"When our work is over, we are in a position to enjoy all kinds of recreation for our spirits. There are various kinds of contests and sacrifices regularly throughout the year; in our own homes we find a beauty and a good taste which delight us every day and which drive away our cares. Then the greatness of our city brings it about that all the good things from all over the world flow in to us, so that to us it seems just as natural to enjoy foreign goods as our own local products." -Pericles' Funeral Oration (I don't remember where I came across this quote, but it makes me excited for Columbia's True/False Film Fest ... we're all signed up for our movies!).
