The Philosophy of Momus - Momus

Beauty is just the first glimpse of a terror we’re just about able to bear

Fashion is just the return of the clothes we’re no longer able to wear

Fast food’s too slow, slow food’s too fast

In the next world the first will be first and the last will be last

The first will be first and the last will be last

Those who say no-one is better than anyone think that they’re better for saying

it

The best way to make proper use of your time’s to sit perfectly still and

ignore it

Popular culture’s designed by a highly-trained popular culture elite

A digital city’s more easily changed than a city of concrete

A city more easily changed than a city of concrete

Call me a schizoid, I sometimes feel this era belongs only to me

Place matters less as we choose where to live and who to be

The basic inventiveness that got us into this mess gets us out again

Often inadequate lovers turn into invaluable friends

Inadequate lovers turn into invaluable friends

The only real tyranny comes on behalf of the ones we have chosen to love

Being creative is close to being evil, being good’s just not good enough

Every good man has a bad man inside, someone making it all possible

The only good drug is a smart drug, there’s no good death, there’s no clean kill

There’s no good death, there’s no clean kill

Guilt is the engine of civilisation, guilt that is built on desire

One day I’ll write a book about looking championing the voyeur

Playfulness must be encouraged uncritically, children are still far ahead

Stop trying to cut off your feet so you fit your bed, make it longer instead
