“My first book, Fast Forward, was about growing up in the shadow of Hollywood and how kids are affected by the culture of materialism and the cult of celebrity, and I've often felt the reason my work has an audience in the UK is because it's everything the British love to hate about the Americans.” FirstsBookReasonKidsHateCultureFeltAudienceGrowing UpGrowingShadowHollywoodBritishMaterialismAffectedCultLove Hate Author:Lauren Greenfield
“A dreaded society is not a civilized society. The most progressive and powerful society in the civilized sense, is a society which has recognized its ethos, and come to terms with the past and the present, with religion and science. With modernism and mysticism, with materialism and spirituality; a society free of tension, a society rich in culture. Such a society cannot come with hocus-pocus formulas and with fraud. It has to flow from the depth of a divine search.” PastCultureSpiritualityTermPowerfulRichDivineEthicsFlowDepthTensionMaterialismMysticismCivilizedProgressiveFormulasFraudScience And ReligionModernismEthosCivilized SocietyHocus Pocus Author:Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
“I was lucky enough to have had great success early on in life; to have had all the things the material world can offer. And yet, I realized that what I had actually neglected was the more spiritual side of myself, which has always been there. But it's easy for us in our culture to become consumed in a sense by materialism. Now materialism is fine. We live in a material world. I'm not saying that beautiful things don't enhance our lives. But, in our culture, we're never happy.” WorldEnoughBeautifulSpiritualCultureEasySidesOur LivesMaterialsFineOffersLuckyI RealizedMaterialismBeautiful ThingsConsumedNeglectedGreat SuccessMaterial World Author:Tom Ford
