The author Susan Sontag once wrote, "Every culture has its southerners — people who work as little as they can, preferring to dance, drink, sing brawl... " That's a strange way of putting it (and of characterizing Southerners!), but what Sontag was getting at was this: not all of us fit into the culture we were born into. For instance, Sontag herself was born in New York City, but she later said the most important years of her life were spent in Paris.
