More from Georg Simmel
"Modern culture is constantly growing more objective. Its tissues grow more and more out of impersonal energies, and absorb less and less the subjective entirety of the individual."
"The more complex society becomes, the more primitive its foundations."
"Money is the purest reification of means, a tool that has become an absolute end."
"The individual is not only a member of society, but also, in a certain sense, society itself."
"The blasé attitude is the subjective reflection of the objective structure of the metropolis."
