Quote of the Day
“It’s a mighty curious thing how many people think that if a man isn’t spending his money their way he isn’t spending it right, and that if he isn’t enjoying himself according to their tastes he can’t be having a good time.” — George Horace Lorimer, Old Gorgon Graham
Quote of the Day
“It comes down to that urge to fascism to know what’s best for people, to know that some people are of the best and some people are of the worst; the urge to separate the good from the bad and to praise oneself; to decide what covers on what books people ought to read, what songs people ought to be moved by, what art they ought to make, an urge that makes art into a set of laws that take away your freedom rather than a kind of activity that creates freedom or reveals it.” — Greil Marcus, Commencement ceremony, School of Visual Arts, 2013
Quote of the Day
“Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.” — George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman
