"We all become great explorers during our first few days in a new city, or a new love affair." More In Society "I started out in engineering. I was a geophysical engineer. Throughout the course of my life I’ve done a lot of strange jobs, and the effect has been to make me think a little more skeptically about our capitalist society."― George Saunders "He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest."― Theodor Adorno "That person has to be accountable for himself. I think that’s what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else’s life."― Herschel Walker
