More quotes by Christopher Lasch
The family is a haven in a heartless world.
Christopher Lasch
The best defense against the terror of existence are the homely comforts of love, work, and family life, which connect us to a world that is independent of our wishes yet responsive to our needs.
Christopher Lasch
The left has lost the common touch.
Christopher Lasch
I despise the cowardly clinging to life, purely for the sake of life, that seems so deeply ingrained in the American temperament.
Christopher Lasch
Conservatives sense a link between television and drugs, but they do not grasp the nature of this connection.
Christopher Lasch
The work of art is a scream of freedom.
Christopher Lasch
We demand too much of life, too little of ourselves.
Christopher Lasch

Christopher Lasch

Christopher Lasch
Much of what is euphemistically known as the middle class, merely because it dresses up to go to work, is now reduced to proletarian conditions of existence. Many white-collar jobs require no more skill and pay even less than blue-collar jobs, conferring little status or security.
Christopher Lasch
It's not about winning. It's the enjoyment of doing it - it gets your brain going.
Christopher Lasch
Most people no longer live in nuclear families at all.
Christopher Lasch
Most women are pragmatists who have allowed extremists on the left and right to manipulate the family issue for their own purposes.
Christopher Lasch
The left no longer stands for common sense, as it did in the days of Tom Paine.
Christopher Lasch
The conservative revival cannot be dismissed.
Christopher Lasch
The model of ownership, in a society organized round mass consumption, is addiction.
