We live in a culture where everything is designed for our comfort or entertainment but nothing satisfies. At our core, we remain insatiable, constantly on the prowl for new commodities and pleasant sensations to fill the void.

Daniel Pinchbeck

the myth of childhood happiness flourishes so wildly not because it satisfies the needs of children but because it satisfies the needs of adults. In a culture of alienated people, the belief that everyone has at least one good period in life free of care and drudgery dies hard. And obviously you can't expect it in your old age. So it must be you've already had it.

Shulamith Firestone

Even personal tastes are learned, in the matrix of a culture or a subculture in which we grow up, by very much the same kind of process by which we learn our common values. Purely personal tastes, indeed, can only survive in a culture which tolerates them, that is, which has a common value that private tastes of certain kinds should be allowed.

Kenneth E. Boulding

We live in a consumer culture, and Black Friday is like the July 4th of that culture. It might be good not to live in this culture, but it terms of what we can do to make people safer at big sales, it seems more useful to try to avoid dangerous crowd conditions.

John Seabrook

Look what is happening in the world - we are being conditioned by society, by the culture we live in, and that culture is the product of man. There is nothing holy, or divine, or eternal about culture.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

I love nothing more than a good, rich, dark chocolate. It exhilarates. It satisfies.

Abigail Spencer

Even if we ignore the 'non-theoretical' knowledge which we acquire through experience (such as the knowledge of what something tastes like) and concentrate on theoretical knowledge, there is no good reason to think that physics can literally give the theory of everything. Here I want to be really pedantic. Although everything may be subject to physical law, not everything can be explained or described in physical terms. Physics has literally nothing to say about society, morality and the mind, for example - but of course these are parts of 'everything'.

Tim Crane

Making good records tastes good in your mouh. And when that record sells, it tastes even better.

Courtney Love

Nothing in our evolutionary history specifically prepared us to live in large societies. Almost everything about the way culture works does.

Mark Pagel

When you're hungry, everything tastes good.

John Witherspoon

Nothing tastes as good as looking good feels.

Tony Robbins

Honestly, nothing tastes as good as feeling good.

Jinder Mahal

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

Stephen Covey

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

Kate Moss

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

Elizabeth Berg

There's no such thing as a good or bad culture, it's either a strong or weak culture. And a good culture for somebody else may not be a good culture for you.

Brian Chesky
