Written stories are frozen voices that come to life when we read them. No other art form involves us in the same way—allows us to be with another human being—to feel joy when he laughs, to share her sorrow, to follow the twists and turns of his plotting and scheming, to realize her insufficiencies and failures and absurdities, to grasp the tools of her resistance—from within the mind itself. Such experience—such knowledge from within—makes us feel that we are not alone in our flawed humanity.

Tom Wolfe on How Clay Felker Changed New York -- New York Magazine - 0 views
-
"He had developed night vision for detecting new styles of life. "Style of life"-Lebensstil in German-was a term invented a hundred years ago by the German sociologist Max Weber, the father of status theory itself. All new styles of life, he said, were created by "status groups," like-minded souls who try to create spheres of their own, insulated from the opinions of people outside. The socialites of the Saturday route had their style of life in the 1960s … and hippies had theirs. It was not until the late 1950s that the terms themselves, "status," referring to social position, and "style of life," referring to the manners and mores of status groups, emerged from academic sociology and became part of everyday language."
