Famous quotes containing the words current, position and/or activities:

    Natural Man, in our current version, is a disgruntled adolescent.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    We say that someone occupies an official position, whereas it is the official position that occupies him.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.
    Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
