“Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastimeIm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. Its extremely painful. I agree that its hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. Its no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (18731954)
“We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
