Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
Every time something tries to create respect with a machine it crumbles!
I tried to play the etiquette game - the respect game - for too long, and it didn't work out for me.
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation.
O Ceremony, show me but thy worth? What is thy soul of adoration? Art thou aught else but place, degree, and form, Creating awe and fear in other men?
