"I doubt that the whole philosophy of the world manages to abolish slavery: we change at most by name. I can imagine forms of servitude worse than ours, because more insidious: either we manage to turn men into machines stupid and contented, who believe themselves free when they are enslaved, or that you develop at home, at the exclusion of leisure and human pleasures, a taste of work as frenzied as the passion for war among barbarous races. "
This is to mark the end of the summer break.
A little ensuquée I limit myself to a few stimuli to comment on this quote from "Memoirs of Hadrian" by Marguerite Yourcenar:
"France that gets up early"
"Give the mob's bread and circuses"
"But where have all our intellectuals?"
"Purchasing power"
"Digital Television"
"Bars"
Okay it's easy and it does not really advance the simlblick.
I'd better read the book!
