A quotation from J. M. Barrie

WENDY:I shall give you a kiss if you like.
PETER: Thank you. (He holds out his hand.)
WENDY: (aghast) Don’t you know what a kiss is?
PETER. I shall know when you give it me. (Not to hurt his feelings she gives him her thimble.)

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
Peter Pan, Act 1 (1904, pub. 1928)

Psychology Today

"The traditional bourgeoisie assumed a class status. It assumed it was the bourgeoisie and that, potentially, it could exploit the working class. And so, there was a visible conflict. But now, the contemporary bourgeoisie is cool, it’s open, it’s the open society. They say “Paris, open city!” but open at ten thousand euros per square meter. Wow! That’s why I always say that Paris is a citadel, as is Barcelona. A citadel, yes, but unlike before, the walls are invisible. But this is great for today’s bourgeoisie, which has understood that it must maintain the discourse of openness because it has turned its back on the social issue. So, it’s a discourse of substitution. And therefore, it’s very logical that today’s bourgeoisie is progressive. It’s very consistent with the market mechanism."—Christophe Guilluy

His books – none of which have been translated into Catalan yet – provide a very coherent framework for understanding the destruction of […]

Why is anyone drawn to this disgusting maggot?

I grew up in Christian fundamentalism so I understand cults and brainwashing to some degree, but this lying manipulative pus bag, and people like him, have always pissed me off. I see them from a mile away. And yet I am baffled why anyone gets sucked in.

A quotation from Pasternak, Boris:

«
Man is born to live, not to prepare for life. Life itself — the gift of life — is such a breathtakingly serious thing! — Why substitute this childish harlequinade of adolescent fantasies, these schoolboy escapades?

Man is born to live, not to prepare for life. Life itself -- the gift of life -- is such a breathtakingly serious thing! -- Why substitute this childish harlequinade of adolescent fantasies, these schoolboy escapades?

"The inability to admit a mistake
is a classic symptom of emotional immaturity;
it is also a sure-fire way to guarantee
that you will never grow or mature as a person."
Dr. Mardy Grothe
