Dependent Quote by Whit Stillman
“Sometimes you don't realize how dependent you are on just a few people, and if they disappear, suddenly you can be thrown on your own resources, which may be limited, and you're really in a fix. So I think that's authentic to the experience that it might be very lonely.”

![“I think a lot of ["Cosmopolitans"] is marked by [Jerome David] Salinger. Salinger wouldn't allow his works to be adapted for film after his experience with "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut," and I think that's great for us because then we have to do our own Salinger stories.” quote by Whit Stillman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/edb/whit-stillman-16157_adapted_i-think-a-lot-of-cosmopolitans-is-marked_422570.jpg)
