Quotation of the Day for August 15, 2013



"Most Americans have a dull sense that their lives are fundamentally "off"--because for the most part, they are. They hate their lives, but to get through the day, besides taking Prozac and consulting their cell phone every two minutes, they talk themselves into believing that they want to be doing what they are doing. This is probably the major source of illness in our culture, whether physical or mental."

- Morris Berman, cultural historian and social critic
