Quote by Irving Goffman

"The individual has a line, and along this line his separate involvements fade into background, while a particular set of involvement stands out in sharp relief."

"We are all performers in the grand theater of life."

"Everybody has an understanding of the rituals that make up everyday life."

"The presentation of self is a theatrical performance."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
