This, from Kurt Vonnegut's Timequake, remains one of my favorite passages in literature. (And he's right about My Life as a Dog)
     Out into the world I go! Muggers! Autograph hounds! Junkies! People with real jobs! Maybe an easy lay! United Nations functionaries and diplomats!
     Our house is near the UN, so there are all kinds of really foreign-looking people getting in or out of illegally parked limousines, doing the best they can, like all the rest of us, to hold their self-respect together. As I saunter a half-block to the news store on Second Avenue, which also sells stationery, I can feel, if I so choose, because of all the foreigners, like Humphrey Bogart or Peter Lorre in Casablanca, the third-greatest movie ever made.
     The greatest movie ever, as anybody with half a brain knows, is My Life as a Dog. The second-greatest movie ever is All About Eve.
     There is a chance, moreover, that I will see Katharine Hepburn, a real movie star! She lives only one block from us! When I speak to her, and tell her my name, she always says, "Oh yes, you're that friend of my brother's." I do not know her brother.
     No such luck today, though, but what the heck. I am a philosopher. I have to be.

Topolino does translate to "little mouse," but in Italy, it's the official name for Mickey Mouse. I've got to wonder if there's a Disney deal allowing the use of the name.
