A cushion has that cover. Supposing you do not like to change, supposing it is very clean that there is no change in appearance, supposing that there is regularity and a costume is that any the worse than an oyster and an exchange. Come to season that is there any extreme use in feather and cotton. Is there not much more joy in a table and more chairs and very likely roundness and a place to put them.
“We’re desperate for excitement of some kind. That’s the drawback to living in an entertainment culture — the entertainment begins to pall after a while. It’s like spending too long at a theme park — you begin to long to get out of it. And when you realize that there’s nowhere to get out to, that it’s all like this, that the theme park now circles the planet and that’s all there is — that makes for desperation.”
J. G. Ballard
