Quotation of the Day for March 25, 2012



"Americans have been made into permanent adolescents by advertising, mass culture--uncritical, herdminded, pleasure-loving, concerned about trivia of materialistic living, scared of death, sex, old age--friendship is sending Xmas cards, sex is the wet dream of those chromium-plated Hollywood glamour girls, death--is not.

- Dwight Macdonald, quoted in The Letters of Dwight Macdonald (2002).
