"A matter of how they were raised — everybody’s special and everybody’s point of view is valid and everybody’s feelings should be taken care of"
"Today’s polite, pleasant personality is, above all, a commercial personality. It is the salesman’s smile and hearty handshake"
"bland, inoffensive, smile-and-a-shoeshine personality — the stay-positive, other-directed, I’ll-be-whoever-you-want-me-to-be personality — that everybody has today"
"this is why, unlike those of previous youth cultures, the hipster ethos contains no element of rebellion, rejection or dissent"
