Zero Gravity by Roger Dahl
quid pro quo: something that is given to a person in return for something they have done.squid: a sea animal with a long body and ten arms situated around the mouth, or this animal eaten as food.
"The superficial inducement, the exotic,the picturesque has an effect only on the foreigner. To portrait a city, a native must have other, deeper motives - motives of one who travels into the past instead of into distance. A native's book about his city will always be related to memoirs; the writer has not spent his childhood there in vain".
Walter Benjamin
