Quote by Toni Orrill

“My daughter needs fidelity, not juvenility, Ma Mae said, flippin her head like a backlash. Sissy: Mama, that's not w rod. Poppy: Actually, that is a word. Now I know I have a gene pool of vocabulary. I just thought it had been a fluke. She actually knows words. "Mama why don't you speak like that all the time. That was smart. I just save it for letters and legal papers. No need to waste my brain. It comes out too when I'm mad. Philip just stood there watching the women go back and forth and knew the apples were with the tree.”

“Consciousness I proved unable to change with the changing realities of America. Today it still sees America as if it were a world of small towns and simple virtues. Invention and machinery and production are the equivalent of progress; material success ids the road to happiness, nature is beautiful but must be conquered and put to use. Competition is the law of nature and man; life is a harsh pursuit of individual self-interest. Consciousness I believes that the American dream is still possible, and that success is determined by character, morality, hard work, and self-denial. It does not accept that organizations predominate individuals in American life, or that social problems are due to something other than bad character, or that the possibility of individual success, based on ability and enterprise is largely out of date.”

“Not only would Americans have no understanding of the dangers of industrialism; no culture, tradition, social order, or inner knowledge of self by which to guide industrial values and choose among them...Divided up into individual units defined by self-interest, they had no way of thinking for the common good, or thinking ahead, and the anti-intellectual and sometimes childish tendency of Americans to not think at all allowed them to rest easy in this posture”

“One of the central aspects of Consciousness II is an acceptance of the priority of institutions, organizations, and society and a belief that the individual must tie his destiny to something of this sort, larger than himself, and subordinate his will to it...He sees his own life and career in terms of progress within a society and within an institution. An established hierarchy and settled procedures are seen as necessary and valuable. Achievements by character and hard work is translated into achievement in terms of meritocracy of education, technical knowledge, and position.”

“Claire Lewis estaba en su ducha. En su ducha, desnuda. En su ducha, desnuda y mojada y… ¡Rápido, pensamientos antieróticos! ¡Pensamientos antieróticos! «Culos de futbolistas». «Tíos petados machacándose en el gimnasio». «Chris Hemsworth sin camiseta».”
