“They may be cretinous humanoids, but they are my cretinous humanoids.”
- Nick Bockwinkel (b. 1934), American professional wrestler, circa 1986.
“None of us knows all the potentialities that slumber in the spirit of the population, or all the ways in which that population can surprise us when there is the right interplay of events.”
- Václav Havel (b. 1936), Czech playwright and president” “Disturbing the Peace”, 1986, translated 1990.
“The American ideal of masculinity… has created cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, punks and studs, tough guys and softies, butch and faggot, black and white. It is an ideal so paralytically infantile that it is virtually forbidden – as an unpatriotic act – that the American boy evolves into the complexity of manhood.”
- James Baldwin (1924 – 1987), American author: ‘Here Be Dragons’ in “The Price of the Ticket”, 1985.
“Some people are born slack – others have slacking thrust upon them.”
- Will Self (b. 1961), British author: ‘Slack Attack’, first published in “The Observer” (London), January 2, 1994, reprinted in “Junk Mail”, 1995.
