I read this highly amusing description of the statue of liberty in the book I am currently reading:
The vanity of the natives led them therefore to concentrate their enthusiasm on a rejected statue of commerce intended for the Suez Canal. This they had purchased at secondhand and grandiloquently labelled 'Liberty enlightening the World.' They had been prophetic enough to put it on an island with its back to the mainland.'

Everyone hates everything anymore.
and everyone questions everything.
everyone tries coming up with these deep, inside humourous thoughts about this and that to get attention or to draw away attention.
No one lives peacfully anymore :(
