The Family Is The American Fascism.

Wrong' Training Can Be A Very Innocent Thing. Consider A Father Who Allows His Child To Read Good Books. That Child May Soon Cease To Watch Television Or Go To The Movies, Nor Will He Eventually Read Book-of-the-month Club Selections, Because They Are Ludicrous And Dull. As A Young Man, Then, He Will Effectually Be Excluded From All Of Madison Avenue And Hollywood And Most Of Publishing, Because What Moves Him Or What He Creates Is Quite Irrelevant To What Is Going On: It Is Too Fine. His Father Has Brought Him Up As A Dodo.

No Good Has Ever Come From Feeling Guilty, Neither Intelligence, Policy, Nor Compassion. The Guilty Do Not Pay Attention To The Object But Only To Themselves, And Not Even To Their Own Interests, Which Might Make Sense, But To Their Anxieties.

We Live Increasingly In A System In Which Little Direct Attention Is Paid To The Object, The Function, The Program, The Task, The Need; But Immense Attention To The Role, The Procedure, Prestige, And Profit.

Be Patient, Do Nothing, Cease Striving. We Find This Advice Disheartening And Therefore Unfeasible Because We Forget It Is Our Own Inflexible Activity That Is Structuring The Reality. We Think That If We Do Not Hustle, Nothing Will Happen And We Will Pine Away. But The Reality Is Probably In Motion And After A While We Might Take Part In That Motion. But One Can't Know.

In A Milieu Of Resignation, Where The Young Men Think Of Society As A Closed Room In Which There Are No Values But The Rejected Rat Race, ... It Is Extremely Hard To Aim At Objective Truth Or World Culture. One's Own Products Are Likely To Be Personal Or Parochial.
