Pithy quotes from J.G. Ballard (whatever happened to "industrial" culture anyway?) in the NYTimes today. My favorites:
"Americans are highly moralistic, and any kind of moral ambiguity irritates them. As a result they completely fail to understand themselves, which is one of their strengths."
and
"The president of the United States bears about as much relationship to the real business of running America as does Colonel Sanders to the business of frying chicken."
But this one is my new motto:
"If you can smell garlic, everything is all right."
yessir. can't argue with that.
