John Updike quotesAmericans have been conditioned to respect newness, whatever it cost them.
Eric Hoffer quotesTo the old, the new is usually bad news.
Henry Miller quotesThe new always carries with it the sense of violation, of sacrilege. What is dead is sacred; what is new, that is different, is evil, dangerous, or subversive.
Eric Hoffer quotesThe birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind -- the mind of a fighter -- in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man's first beginning.
German proverb quotesAlways something new, seldom something good.
T. S. Eliot quotesWe do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value -- a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
