    Frédéric Beigbeder
    “С нелепото си поведение и мокасините си на бос крак (за да младее)Плейбой интернашънъл задава уместни въпроси : за какво служи любовта в цивилизацията на похотта? Защо ни трябва обременяващо семейство, щом въздигаме свободата във висша ценност? Какво е мястото на марала в хедонистично общество?Ако Бог е мъртъв, значи вселената е бордей, от който трябва да се възползвааме до пукване. Ако индивидът е цар, то егоизмът е единствената ни ценностна система.”

    John Stuart Mill
    “It is indisputable that the being whose capacities of enjoyment are low, has the greatest chance of having them fully satisfied; and a highly endowed being will always feel that any happiness which he can look for, as the world is constituted, is imperfect. But he can learn to bear its imperfections, if they are at all bearable; and they will not make him envy the being who is indeed unconscious of the imperfections, but only because he feels not at all the good which those imperfections qualify.

    It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question.”
    ― John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism

    Isaac Asimov
    “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
