Favorite John Cheever Quotations

What's your favorite John Cheever quotation?

Here's one I think speaks to many of his stories: "...we were all three characters in some bitter and sordid tragedy, carrying impossible burdens and separated from the rest of mankind by our misfortunes."

So many of Cheever's characters seem to feel this. Is this common or like so many other things in Cheever's stories, have the times changed enough that we no longer have to suffer this kind of isolation?
