“Deviance, like pretentiousness, is in the eye of the beholder, in the gap between one individual’s baseline of acceptable behaviour and the actions of another.”

“But this fact should not blind us to another one: that almost anyone can learn a script well enough to give a charitable audience some sense of realness in what is being contrived before them. And it seems this is so because ordinary social intercourse is itself put together as a scene is put together, by the exchange of dramatically inflated actions, counteractions, and terminating replies… All the world is not, of course, a stage, but the crucial ways in which it isn’t are not easy to specify.”

“After all, isn’t everyone himself already? How can he help being himself? Who or what else could he be?”
