  • Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models.

    Sports   Confused   Real  
    Daniel J. Boorstin (1962). “The Image or What Happened to the American Dream”
  • What is it that is done to our children that their puberty should deform them?

  • When romances do really teach anything, or produce any effective operation, it is usually through a far more subtle process than the ostensible one.

    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1993). “Nathaniel Hawthorne: three complete novels”, Gramercy

  • Empress of the Universe would be way too much work. I'd have to wear fancy clothes, probably including lady shoes with pointed toes, and could no longer slouch into the study in PJs and slippers.

We do not know where death awaits us: so let us wait for it everywhere." "To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.

    Men   Practice   Waiting

Those are the people that you need to find in life, rather than people that you're just comfortable with.

  • The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. The man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. Here Camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. It makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. It is good for the digestion.

    Witty   Exercise   Men

  • The real "haves" are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real "have nots" are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.

    Eric Hoffer (1996). “The Passionate State of Mind”
