“Three kinds of mass organization predominate in contemporary Western society: the mass corporation in the economy, the mass state in government, and the mass organizations of culture and communication. The latter include not only the media of mass communication, one of the most important instruments by which the managerial elite disciplines and controls the mass population, but also all other mass organizations that disseminate, restrict, or invent information, ideas, and values advertising, publishing, journalism, film and broadcasting, entertainment, religion, education, and institutions for research and development.”
Samuel T. Francis

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

Éric Vuillard
“Don't believe for a minute that this all belongs to some distant past. These are not antediluvian monsters, creatures who pitifully faded away in the 1950s along with the poverty depicted by Rossellini, or were carted off with the ruins of Berlin. These names still exist. Their fortunes are enormous.”
Éric Vuillard, L'Ordre du jour

“In the grand scheme of business, partisan struggles didn't amount to much. Politicians and industrialists routinely dealt with each other.”
Éric Vuillard, L'Ordre du jour

Herbert Spencer
“.. if the thing denied is the possibility of reducing Sociology to the form of an exact science; then the rejoinder is that the thing denied is a thing which no one has affirmed. . . But so far as there can be generalization, and so far as there can be interpretation based on it, so far there can be science.”
Herbert Spencer, The Study of Sociology
