    “Mildred Pierce: And just what do you do, Mr. Beragon?
    Monte Beragon: I loaf. Oh, in a decorative and highly charming manner.
    Mildred Pierce: Is that all?
    Monte Beragon: With me, loafing is a science.”
    —Ranald MacDougall (1915–1973)

    “It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
