=== ''Symbols and Deception'' (1999) ===
* The reality is that all four or five or ten athletes who finished within a few tenths of a second of one another have demonstrated supreme athleticism, energy, determination and beauty. All of them are absolutely worthy of praise. More importantly, all of them should be judged in our eyes similarly. If we feel sorry for the fourth place finisher, we have lost all sense of reality. Designations based on absurdly small increments of time mean nothing.
** p. 10
* When we use predefined concepts to understand and judge things, we are engaged in a process of alienation because we allow an already existing and preevaluated concept to guide is instead of invoking our own sense of judgment and justice each time.
** p. 16
* The extreme exaggeration and humor in commercials send a message to us that they need not be taken seriously or analytically; there is no need to worry about the untruth and unreality of the message of the commercial. ... We are asked to simply absorb the superficial image relayed, and make sense of it. The lifelong barrage of message that present things devoid of content, and in such a manner that makes them seemingly innocuous and not in need of serious and critical attention, is, in fact, a socialization process.
** p. 45
* When we transfer or relinquish our sense of judgment and justice to the law, which becomes a symbol of justice, we disengage a part of our intellectual and emotive world.
