Guy Debord
“Whereas during the primitive stage of capitalist accumulation “political economy considers the proletarian only as a worker,â€� who only needs to be allotted the indispensable minimum for maintaining his labor power, and never considers him “in his leisure and humanity,â€� this ruling-class perspective is revised as soon as commodity abundance reaches a level that requires an additional collaboration from him. Once his workday is over, the worker is suddenly redeemed from the total contempt toward him that is so clearly implied by every aspect of the organization and surveillance of production, and finds himself seemingly treated like a grownup, with a great show of politeness, in his new role as a consumer.”
Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hunter S. Thompson
“Real happiness, in politics, is a wide-open hammer shot on some poor bastard who knows he's been trapped, but can't flee.”
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
“There was also the fact that sending a penniless writer to get $135 worth of beer was â€� as Khrushchev said of Nixon â€� 'like sending a goat to tend the cabbage'.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Hell's Angels

Hunter S. Thompson
“But in a society with no central motivation, so far adrift and puzzled with itself that its President feels called upon to appoint a Committee on National Goals, a sense of alienation is likely to be very popular--especially among people young enough to shrug off the guilt they're suppose to feel for deviating from a goal or purpose they never understood in the first place. Let the old people wallow in the shame of having failed. The laws they made to preserve a myth are no longer pertinent; the so called American Way begins to seem like a dike made of cheap cement, with many more leaks than the law has fingers to plug. America has been breeding mass anomie since the end of World War II. It is not a political thing, but the sense of new realities, or urgency, anger and sometimes desperation in a society where even the highest authorities seem to be grasping at straws.”
Hunter S Thompson
