Quote by Philip Rieff

"The pleasure of the text is not the pleasure of the person who consumes culture."

"Culture is the effort to hold back the aggressive and pathological forces of human nature."

"Every culture is a religion, whether or not its members know it."

"The highest achievements of consciousness are in withdrawal from the world."

"Friendship is built on trust and honesty."

"True friendship is worth more than gold."

"Good friends are like stars, always there even when you can't see them."

"Friendship means sacrifice."
