...brought indoor habits and equipment to live in the woods. They recite and enact the perverse development the capitalism's contradictons have forced upon the romantic roots of bourgeois culture; one of them discusses the horror men inspire in one another and in particular the horror of touching human flesh, explaining thereby love-making as an attraction through hatred. But basically they are as anti-humanist at the citizens they terrorize, and their contempt for other men leads them both into bad romantic politics ("to overcome the horror of the bourgeisie, we need more horror") and immoral actions (cannibalism...
...teach innocent people living comfortably in warm climates to be shameful of their bodies-which, paradoxically, are made in the image of God -it is refreshing to read of the new morality, which, new or old, was always concerned with the whole man, his intent, not merely his flesh.

...addition to the element of surprise, there is the excitement of an in-the-flesh appearance. Harvard will not confer the degree on anyone who does not show up in person to receive it. If a flat tire on the highway prevents a recipient from appearing at the morning check-in, he does not get his degree. (He would probably be invited back the following year, however.) In 1901, President McKinley was voted a degree, but didn't show up. He didn...
