{"quotes":[{"text":"At the top of the slope on the perimeter of the site, overlooking six lanes of motorway, is a diner frequented by lorry drivers who have either just unloaded or or are waiting to pick up their cargo. Anyone nursing a disappointment with domestic life would find relief in this tiled, brightly lit cafeteria with its smells of fries and petrol, for it has the reassuring feel of a place where everyone is just passing through--and which therefore has none of the close-knit or convivial atmosphere which could cast a humiliating light on one's own alienation. It suggests itself as an ideal location for Christmas lunch for those let down by their families.","author":"Alain de Botton","tags":["alienation","anonymity","cafeteria","diner","disappointment","motorways","travel"],"id":45705,"author_id":"Alain+de+Botton"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":1,"pages":1}}
