The self... is not an organic thing that has a specific location, whose fundamental fate is to be born, to mature, to die; it is a dramatic effect arising diffusely from a scene that is presented Picture Quote #1

Approved attributes and their relation to face make every man his own jailer; this is a fundamental social constraint even though each man may like his cell Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the individual is so viable a God because he can actually understand the ceremonial significance of the way he is treated, and quite on his own can respond dramatically to what is proffered him.

A performer may be taken in by his own act, convinced at the moment that the impression of reality which he fosters is the one and only reality. In such cases we have a sense in which the performer comes to be his own audience; he comes to be performer and observer of the same show. Presumably he introcepts or incorporates the standards he attempts to maintain in the presence of others so that even in their absence his conscience requires him to act in a socially proper way Picture Quote #1

Society is organized on the principle that any individual who possesses certain social characteristics has a moral right to expect that others will value and treat him in an appropriate way Picture Quote #1

So I ask that these papers be taken for what they merely are: exercises, trials, tryouts, a means of displaying possibilities, not establishing fact Picture Quote #1
