“So acts every ‘man-in-the-street’ in our own society, so has acted the average member of any society through the past ages, and so acts the present-day savage; and the lower his level of cultural development, the greater stickler he will be for good manners, propriety and form, and the more incomprehensive and odious to him will be the non-conforming point of view.”
― Bronisław Malinowski, Argonauts of the Western Pacific

“If you kept the small rules, you could break the big ones.”
― George Orwell, 1984
