"Goffman is one of best known sociologists. Second tier of fame behind the likes of the 19 ce giants of the discipline Marx, Weber, and Durkheim (I’d say fame goes in that order).
His works behind the presentation of self.. tend to be fairly neglect but the average intellectually explorative reader. This I believe is a mistake.
In skimming his ourve I’ve been deeply impressed. So this should be fun!!" — Aug 01, 2023 02:55AM

“One day you discover you are alive.
Explosion! Concussion! Illumination! Delight!
You laugh, you dance around, you shout.
But, not long after, the sun goes out. Snow falls, but no one sees it, on an August noon.”
― Dandelion Wine

“For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer! At long last the search for knowledge will reach out for its due: — it will want to rule and possess, and you with it!”
