From The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, by Alain de BottonTHE COMMUTE
"There is something improbable about the silence in the carriage, considering how naturally gregarious we are as a species. Still, how much kinder it is for the commuters to pretend to be absorbed in other things, rather than revealing the extent to which they are covertly evaluating, judging, condemning and desiring each other."
From Chapter VIII, Accountancy
