I liked things better when I didn't understand them.

Image
Instead of asking what's wrong with rampant consumerism, we ought to be asking, 'What justifies it?' Popular art does not have to pander to the lowest level of intelligence and taste.

It's only work if somebody makes you do it.

Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience.
