Christopher Lasch
Image
The hope of a new politics does not lie in formulating a left-wing reply to the right-it lies in rejecting conventional political categories.
Christopher Lasch
Image
The news appeals to the same jaded appetite that makes a child tire of a toy as soon as it becomes familiar and demand a new one in its place.
Christopher Lasch

Conservatives unwittingly side with the social forces that contribute to the destruction of traditional values.
Christopher Lasch
Image
The conservative revival cannot be dismissed.
