Am I in love? ... If in love, where’s the sweetheart? Is it the noble-hearted F___ or the giddy, young, black-eyed E___ who fills my thoughts? Do feeling and judgment go together? I feel the strong longing, but not the fixed attachment which belongs to the true love. The settled object is wanting. It is useless to attempt to cast myself free from the cords which a too warm imagination throws about me. The only cure is marriage. If that is not the specific I may as well despair of ever making even a respectable figure in life; ... I am almost wholly worthless.... With me too, believing as I do, or have, that it was a part of my patrimony to be gifted with more than the ordinary allotment of what is called “common sense.” I must be in the chrysalis state, neither a boy nor a man; not in love and yet not whole of heart. Well I hope I shall be safely delivered soon, for if I am not, woe to the future!
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
Anyone having that dual familiarity with prewar small towns and modern shopping malls will ... be repelled by the comparison. A preoccupation with physical facades coupled with a lack of sociological insight is common among the mall’s many fans.... Totally unlike Main Street, the shopping mall is populated by strangers. As people circulate about in the constant, monotonous flow of mall pedestrian traffic, their eyes do not cast about for familiar faces, for the chance of seeing one is small. That is not part of what one expects there. The reason is simple. The mall is centrally located to serve the multitudes from a number of outlying developments within its region. There is little acquaintance between these developments and not much more within them. Most of them lack focal points or core settings and, as a result, people are not widely known to one another, even in their own neighborhoods, and their neighborhood is only a minority portion of the mall’s clientele.
—Ray Oldenburg, U.S. sociologist, educator. “Main Street,” The Great Good Place, Paragon House (1989)
Though once there were more whales cast up here, I think that it was never more wild than now.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
