Hotel
Quotes
I've always
thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals. I mean a cat to sleep on
your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever
notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless?
The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet
both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the
motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber
of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim
over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never
grand.
Doorman -- a genius who can open the door of your car with one
hand, help you in with the other, and still have one left for the tip.
Of course great hotels have always been social ideas, flawless
mirrors to the particular societies they service.
A writer is in danger of allowing his talent to dull who lets more
than a year go past without finding himself in his rightful place of composition,
the small single unluxurious retreat of the twentieth century, the hotel bedroom.
