“In the south, the breeze blows softer…neighbors are friendlier and more talkative. (By contrast with the Yankee, the Southerner never uses one word when ten or twenty will do.)…This is a different place. Our way of thinking is different, as are our ways of seeing, laughing, singing, eating, meeting, and parting.”
—Charles Kuralt, Southerners: Portrait of a People
