I write to discover what I think.
The force of the advertising word and image dwarfs the power of other literature in the 20th century.
Planning for the future without a sense of history is like planting cut flowers.
Being known primarily for their well-knownness, celebrities intensify their celebrity images simply by becoming widely known for relations among themselves. By a kind of symbiosis, celebrities live off one another.
More appealing than knowledge itself is the feeling of knowledge.
We suffer primarily not from our vices or our weaknesses, but from our illusions. We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in their place.
