More quotes by Christopher Lasch
When liberals finally grasped the strength of popular feeling about the family, they cried to appropriate the rhetoric and symbolism of family values for their own purposes.
Christopher Lasch
The family is a haven in a heartless world.
Christopher Lasch
Most people no longer live in nuclear families at all.
Christopher Lasch

Christopher Lasch

Christopher Lasch
The model of ownership, in a society organized round mass consumption, is addiction.
Christopher Lasch
The left no longer stands for common sense, as it did in the days of Tom Paine.
Christopher Lasch
The prison life of the past looks in our own time like liberation itself.
Christopher Lasch
It's not about winning. It's the enjoyment of doing it - it gets your brain going.
Christopher Lasch
Adherents of the new religious right reject the separation of politics and religion, but they bring no spiritual insights to politics.
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
In our society, daily experience teaches the individual to want and need a never-ending supply of new toys and drugs.
Christopher Lasch
Relentless improvement of the product and upgrading of consumer tastes are the heart of mass merchandising.
Christopher Lasch
Uprootedness uproots everything except the need for roots.
Christopher Lasch
