Today's quote:
"In the 18th century, hypochondria became almost fashionable, and was thought to be a symptom of excess luxury and ease. Today we appear to have excelled the hypochondriac cultures of the past by elevating the morbidly self-involved to the level of paragon." ~ Brian Dillon, "Proust, Warhol, Michael Jackson and the Pain of Fame" (Wall Street Journal)
