“Euripides seems to have felt that the dignified perfection of Sophocles could be challenged only by novelty and irresponsibility. The religious conditions of the Dionysian festival kept him within certain bounds. But within the imposed limits Euripides was as profane as he dared to be, making melodrama of the divine realities which his predecessors accepted religiously, using the stage merely as a convenience for popularizing his own eccentric values.” RealitySeemsCertainValuesFeltReligiousConditionsStageDivineLimitsPerfectionBoundsAcceptedFestivalsNoveltyConvenienceEccentricPredecessorsProfaneMelodramaIrresponsibility Author:Laura Riding

“The hippie is the scion of surplus value. The dropout can only claim sanctity in a society which offers something to be dropped out of--career, ambition, conspicuous consumption. The effects of hippie sanctimony can only be felt in the context of others who plunder his lifestyle for what they find good or profitable, a process known as rip-off by the hippie, who will not see how savagely he has pillaged intricate and demanding civilizations for his own parodic lifestyle.” ValuesFeltProcessKnownCareersEffectsCivilizationOffersAmbitionClaimsLifestyleConsumptionProfitableRipHippieSanctityIntricateSurplusPlunderDropoutsConspicuous ConsumptionScions Book:The Madwoman's Underclothes: Essays and Occasional Writings Source: The Madwoman's Underclothes: Essays and Occasional Writings
