Philip Roth Quotes

The Power In Any Society Is With Those Who Get To Impose The Fantasy. It Is No Longer, As It Was For Centuries Throughout Europe, The Church That Imposes Its Fantasy On The Populace, Nor Is It The Totalitarian Superstate That Imposes The Fantasy, As It Did For 12 Years In Nazi Germany And For 69 Years In The Soviet Union. Now The Fantasy That Prevails Is The All-consuming, Voraciously Consumed Popular Culture, Seemingly Spawned By, Of All Things, Freedom. The Young Especially Live According To The Beliefs That Are Thought Up For Them By The Society's Most Unthinking People And By Businesses Least Impeded By Innocent Ends. Ingeniously As Their Parents And Teachers May Attempt To Protect The Young From Being Drawn, To Their Detriment, Into The Moronic Amusement Park That Is Now Universal, The Preponderance Of The Power Is Not With Them.
