Do not let yourselves be discouraged or embittered by the smallness of the success you are likely to achieve in trying to make life better.

Depending on the situation, one or the other is probably pretty appealing. What's not appealing is something that offers neither.

Fashion is the most intense expression of the phenomenon of neomania, which has grown ever since the birth of capitalism. Neomania assumes that purchasing the new is the same as acquiring value...
