The Rise of the New Puritans Quotes

“But shame is not an adequate inducement unless you voluntarily participate in being shamed. You have to take yourself far too seriously. You must become hypersensitive toward the conduct of your neighbors. You must be thin-skinned, self-conscious, and consumed with that which is beyond your immediate control. You must be miserable—or, at least, miserable to be around.”
