“Translation:I have spend a long time thinking, the arbitrators who holds the power calling others cheap, I don't see how elegant they are, for example, it is cheap to go for a $100 prostitute, but to spend one million on a show girl(singers or actress) is elegant, looking at porno is cheap, reading Red Head documents(all Communist documents have red color heading) is elegant, it is cheap to buy a replica gun, it is elegant to gun down two men in one go, it is cheap to play World of Warcraft, it is elegant to have sex with fashion models…”

—  Han Han

From Han Han's blog: Beginning from today, I shall be a cheap man.
从今天起,做一个低俗的人 http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4701280b0100gnj4.html

Original

我花了很长时间去想,那些界定别人低俗的人,他们到底高雅在哪里,比如说有人花一百块嫖娼是低俗,有人用一百万去玩艺人就是高雅,有人看黄色图片是低俗,有人看红头文件是高雅,有人买个仿真枪是低俗,有人真枪一暴两个头是高雅,有人玩魔兽就是低俗,有人玩模特就是高雅...

“I don't think we're ever going to have a cheap fascism of Brownshirts and goose stepping or anything of that sort.”

Norman Mailer (1923–2007) American novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, film maker, actor and political candidate

TIME interview (1991)
Context: I don't think we're ever going to have a cheap fascism of Brownshirts and goose stepping or anything of that sort. We're too American for that. We would find that ridiculous.
But there are always traces of repression. And you can find it in a Democratic government too. People who are "right-minded," you know, are always with us. But I think so long as we can move along with the economy, we're all right. It's just if there's a smash, a crash — that's when I'm not at all optimistic about what's going to happen.
