“The so-called consumer society and the politics of corporate capitalism have created a second nature of man which ties him libidinally and aggressively to the commodity form.

—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)

“Nobody wants to phone me,
Even collect.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)

“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
