Let's not
quibble! I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.
If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost
in the shuffle, ''I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly
right.''
-- Tallulah Bankhead
1903-1968, American Actress
We are no
longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess. We
are living in a society of excrescence. The boil is growing
out of control, recklessly at cross purposes with itself,
its impacts multiplying as the causes disintegrate.
-- Jean Baudrillard
French Postmodern
Philosopher, Writer
