Sinclair Lewis
“It keeps strays in the flock. To word it differently: 'You must live up to the popular code if you believe in it; but if you don't believe in it, then you MUST live up to it!”
Sinclair Lewis, Main Street

Sinclair Lewis
“It has not yet been recorded that any human being has gained a very large or permanent contentment from meditation upon the fact that he is better off than others.”
Sinclair Lewis, Main Street

Sinclair Lewis
“She did not yet know the immense ability of the world to be casually cruel and proudly dull,”
Sinclair Lewis, Main Street

Sinclair Lewis
“Life is comfortable and clean enough here already. And so secure. What it needs it to be less secure, more eager.”
Sinclair Lewis, Main Street

Sinclair Lewis
“It is an unimaginatively standardized background, a sluggishness, of speech and manners, a rigid ruling of the spirit by the desire to appear respectable. It is contentment...the contentment of the quiet dead, who are scornful of the living for their restless walking. It is negation canonized as the one positive virtue. It is the prohibition of happiness. It is slavery self-sought and self-defended. It is dullness made God. A savorless people, gulping tasteless food, and sitting afterward, coatless and thoughtless, in rocking chairs prickly with inane decorations, listening to mechanical music, saying mechanical things about the excellence of Ford automobiles, and viewing themselves as the greatest race in the world.”
Sinclair Lewis, Main Street
