Minimize Total

Famous quotes containing the words minimize and/or total:

“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

“The only way into truth is through one’s own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.”
