I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you fucking like something, like it. That's what's wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, "You're not supposed to like that. That's not fucking cool." Don't fucking think it’s not cool to like Britney Spears' "Toxic." It is cool to like Britney Spears' "Toxic"! Why the fuck not? Fuck you! That's who I am, goddamn it! That whole guilty pleasure thing is full of fucking shit.
- Dave Grohl

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

its now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights. It’s actually nothing more... than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so fucking what.
- Stephen Fry

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.
- Aldous Huxley
