“Civility, which is a disposition to accommodate and oblige others, is essentially the same in every country; but good breeding, as it is called, which is the manner of exerting that disposition, is different in almost every country, and merely local; and every man of sense imitates and conforms to that local good breeding of the place which he is at.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they wont know what youre up to
its true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”
—Frank OHara (19261966)
“Upon the whole, necessity is something, that exists in the mind, not in objects; nor is it possible for us ever to form the most distant idea of it, considerd as a quality in bodies. Either we have no idea of necessity, or necessity is nothing but that determination of thought to pass from cause to effects and effects to causes, according to their experiencd union.”
—David Hume (17111776)
