Die Genuss-Gesellschaft hat die Arbeit abgeschafft: Hackordnungen werden durch flache Hierarchien ersetzt, Arbeitsplätze werden zu Wohlfühloasen und Vorgesetzte zu Kollegen. #MachdeinHobbyzumBeruf

Die Aufgabe der Psychoanalyse bestand einst darin, den Menschen zu ermöglichen, ihr Begehren gegen eine repressive Gesellschaft zu verteidigen. Heute muss ihre Aufgabe darin bestehen, den Menschen gegen das Gebot, genießen zu müssen, zu verteidigen.

Aus den Boxen der Genuss-Gesellschaft schallen ihre Slogans: „Du darfst“, „Du willst es, du kriegst es!“, „Enjoy the real thing!“, „Du willst es doch auch“, „Have it your way“… #wirmüssennurwollen

Der Spätkapitalismus verspicht Genuss ohne Reue. Alkoholfreies Bier und zuckerfreie Schokolade suggerieren Genuss ohne Nebenwirkungen und Bio-Bananen lassen uns glauben, wir täten beim kau(f)en etwas für die Umwelt.

Das Versprechen völliger Befriedigung ist eine Illusion, die in dem großen Interesse der Genuss-Gesellschaft am Virtuellen, an Simulationen und Abbildungen aller Art, sichtbar wird. #facebooktinderinstagram

Die Maxime der Genuss-Gesellschaft ist die Unmittelbarkeit, die direkte Verfügbarkeit all dessen, was als Quelle des Genusses dienen könnte. Dementsprechend bekämpft die zeitgenössische Philosophie auch die Metaphysik und begeistert sich für alles Greifbare. #newmaterialism

Je mehr man genießen muss, desto weniger kann man genießen. Angesichts grenzenloser Optionen lauert hinter jeder Wahl eine Fehlentscheidung; das Ergebnis ist zwangsläufig Unzufriedenheit.

Schlimm ist, nicht genießen zu können; noch schlimmer ist, wenn der Nachbar es kann. Der Genuss des Anderen wird verdächtig und als Bedrohung wahrgenommen. Daraus resultieren, Neid, Apathie und offene Gewalt.

Die Zyniker, die über den Dingen schweben und von oben die Genuss-Gesellschaft verspotten, ergötzten sich an ihren Höhenflügen und gehen dabei der Genuss-Logik ebenso auf den Leim, wie die armen Teufel, die sie verspotten.

Die Vorstellung völliger Befriedigung ist eine Illusion. Nur wer akzeptiert, dass jeder Genuss sein Ende hat, und sich die Mängel, die er wie alle anderen leidet, eingesteht, kommt in der Realität an und wird genuss- und empathiefähig.

Gambling can turn into a dangerous two way street when you least expect it. Weird things happen suddenly and your life can go all to pieces.

Time only has value when it intersects with energy.

But I have tried to go over it very carefully, not merely what the evidence is, but with psychoanalysts and psychologists, and I think we're just about all agreed that Lincoln and Speed did not have a homosexual relationship.

Republicans need to stay strong on the fact that marriage is between a man and a woman. Those are values that are true to the party and true to who we are. They could focus on jobs and the economy, but we all know that keeping the family structure intact is very important in our country.

If society will not admit of woman's free development, then society must be remodeled.

For mascara, I'll just use whatever I have in my bag. I'll use anything. I feel like, from drugstores to a Saks, they are all the same to me.

All work is the avoidance of harder work.

I looked on IMDB, at the message boards there, and someone had posted something about a sheep having more talent than me.

Horror is the natural reaction to the last 5000 years of history.

Clean energy is hippy power. But its also cowboy power its rancher power its Appalachian power.

I think what weakens people most is fear of wasting their strength.

Everything has a trend to it; I don't care if it's appliances or engines. I always ask, 'What has a company done in the past five years that somebody's noticed?'

Chicago was a town where nobody could forget how the money was made. It was picked up from floors still slippery with blood.

The best thing about having your brother in the same sport as you means you can go out and train together every day, and we can push each other on. That's something many of our rivals don't have when training day in day out.

If you're going to care about the fall of the sparrow you can't pick and choose who's going to be the sparrow. It's everybody.

In two months Joseph Kennedy had taken over my entire life, and I trusted him implicitly to make the most of it.

The product of extraordinary wealth allied to a taste for the sumptuous.

I came to the conclusion that in order to end racial barriers, I needed to run for the office of the president and put forth an agenda of social justice and world peace. In addition, I concluded that someone needed to run and challenge the liberal orthodoxy.

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

'Mrs. Doubtfire' is still a fun movie, and it's still fun to watch, but it is hard to watch myself sometimes. I get very critical. And people will say, 'Mara, you were five.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, but I still should have known better!' I'm a lifelong perfectionist, what can I say?

The superior man loves his soul the inferior man loves his property.

The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them.
