More Quotes From ACKROYD (The Novel, Not the Actor)

________________________________________________________________________________________________

He fits into his mood changes
as if they are custom-made.
Whatever the  emotion
it looks right on him.
That, I suppose,
is a description of class.
*
Most men are unable
to work together
beyond a certain level
of mediocrity...
to exceed that level
is to declare yourself
an enemy of your fellow worker
and therefore an exile,
open to envy, suspicion,
subversion and attack.
*
This is a country
where you can land in the brig
for cigarette smuggling
and get promoted into
the high command for smuggling
weapons to the enemy.
*
Intimidation is modern man's
last viable weapon against being
devoured by his loved ones.
*
"When Warhol paints
it is not to make art
but to make
the cover of Time."

***

(1977)
