“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Elyot: It doesn’t suit women to be promiscuous.
Amanda: It doesn’t suit men for women to be promiscuous.”
—Noël Coward (1899–1973)
