"Wherever I turn, there is something of which to be ashamed. But shame
is like everything else; live with it for long enough and it becomes part of
the furniture. In 'Defence', you can find shame in every house, burning in an
ashtray, hanging framed upon a wall, covering a bed. But nobody notices it any
more. And everyone is civilized."
~ Salman Rushdie, Shame, 1983
