“I had loved Portland {Maine}. It was a clean city, with weather so delicate that at night you had to look at the streetlights to tell whether it was raining or snowing. Everything was heavier near Boston: air, accents, women.”

― Elizabeth McCracken, American writer and editor,  in her short-story anthology Here's Your Hat What's Your Hurry
