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."

"Some battles are worth fighting."

"Sometimes you have to become the monster to stop the monsters."

"Skynet sent me back through time to kill you."

"War teaches us the value of peace."
