I always found those things to be repulsive and energy-draining. Give me the gutters, the junkyards, the bars, the liquor stores, the grimy graffiti-ridden back alleys, the insane asylums, the pimps, the hookers, the preachers, the old, the drunkards, the junkies, the homeless, the madmen, and the madwomen. Wherever the ghetto is, that's where life is. It doesn't matter where you live, United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, you won't find a liveliness like in the ghetto anywhere else. They're the things that refill my energy tank and keep me going. Anything out of that realm is just plain, dull, and boring. Give me the cheap and effortless lifestyle. The factory job, the small one-bedroom apartments, the whores, the Budweiser six-packs, the hand-rolled cigarettes, the Tom Waits vinyls, and the old vintage typewriters. I'll be alright.","author":"Robert Nemerovski","tags":["cheap","effortless","insanity"],"id":61899,"author_id":"Robert+Nemerovski"},{"text":"Britain loves a bargain, but you don't get good, lasting architecture on the cheap.","author":"David Chipperfield","tags":["good","you","cheap "],"id":62814,"author_id":"David+Chipperfield"},{"text":"If you have easy self-contentment, you might have a very, very cheap source of happiness.","author":"Leon Kass","tags":["easy","you","cheap "],"id":64678,"author_id":"Leon+Kass"},{"text":"The closest thing I have to a spiritual experience anymore is a Mocha Frappe from McDonald's.","author":"Laura A. Lord","tags":["cheap","depression","grief","love","spiritual"],"id":75185,"author_id":"Laura+A.+Lord"},{"text":"The typical capitalists are lovers of power rather than sensual indulgence, but they have the same tendency to crush and to take tribute that the cruder types of sensualism possess. The discipline of the capitalist is the same as that of the frugalist. He differs from the latter in that he has no regard for the objects through which productive power is acquired. HE does not hesitate to exploit natural resources, lands, dumb animals and even his fellowman. Capital to such a man is an abstract fund, made up of perishable elements which are quickly replaced… The frugalist…stands in marked contrast to the attitude of the capitalist. The frugalist takes a vital interest in his tools, in his land, and in the goods he produces. He has a definite attachment to each. He dislikes to see an old coat wear out, an old wagon break down, or an old horse go lame. He always thinks of concrete things, wants them and nothing else. He desires not land, but a given farm, not horses or cattle and machines, but particular breeds and implements; not shelter, but a home…. He rejects as unworthy what is below standard and despises as luxurious what is above or outside of it. Dominated by activities, he thinks of capital as a means to an end.","author":"Ellen Ruppel Shell","tags":["capitalism","cheap","conservatism","environment","politics","waste"],"id":76257,"author_id":"Ellen+Ruppel+Shell"},{"text":"I pretend to give gifts that people pretend to be gifts so that I can pretend that I gave something that actually cost me something.
