      This quote is from his classic U.S.A. Trilogy
      Specifically, it is from The Big Money (Volume 3)

      Similar to my 2015 reading of 42nd Parallel...
      I was totally enamored of the extraordinary talents
      of JOHN DOS PASSOS but I had a headache for a week
      with an underlyng need to quote both goddam books
      profusely and randomly
