Civilization has ceased to be that delicate flower which was preserved and painstakingly cultivated in one or two sheltered areas of a soil rich in wild species ... Mankind has opted for monoculture; it is in the process of creating a mass civilization, as beetroot is grown in the mass. Henceforth, man's daily bill of fare will consist only of this one item.

Immanuel Wallerstein

At a time when individualism is becoming an endangered species, jazz represents a celebration of the individual.

Ellis Marsalis, Jr.

I think, as a generation of British actors, we're becoming a bit soft and too manipulated by the business.

Aneurin Barnard

I think what democracy means today, in reality, is to a large extent, manipulated consent - not forced consent, manipulated consent - and manipulated more and more with the help of Madison Avenue.

Erich Fromm

The world of entertainment is, like the world of fashion, becoming increasingly populated by those who don't want to do things the same old boring way.

Anna Wintour
