“It’s always been an exceedingly curious thing to me, just how incurious most people are about all save their own little island of time and place in the world.”

Michael Shea book Nifft the Lean

Part 4, Chapter 13 (p. 301)
Nifft the Lean (1982)

“In the slow accretion of self-images that is the mortar between periods in the history of our civilization, a third character ideal emerged, in part from the failure of the previous two [political man and religious man]: economic man, one who would cultivate rationally his very own garden, meanwhile solacing himself with the assumption that by thus attending to his own lower needs a general satisfaction of the higher needs would occur. A moral revolution was the result: what had been lower in the established hierarchy of human interests was asserted to be higher.”

Philip Rieff (1922–2006) American sociologist
