Complete the quotations:

1. “... like anyone else who does not have a soul, you cannot stand anyone who has too much of one. Too much soul! That is __________, is it not? So, it is called a sickness: the eggheads are justified and happy.” (Albert Camus) 2. “... there is nothing more __________ to a feminist than the average "Woman's Page" of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of "high society." Women's interests to-day are as wide as the world.” (Crystal Eastman) 3. Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more __________ than a man or a woman ever could become? (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe) 4. It is always so pleasant to be generous, though very __________ to pay debts. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) 5. Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world, – though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst, – the cant of criticism is the most __________! (Laurence Sterne) 6. The dangers of mass culture are much easier to define than the ideals. The foremost one, which may negate all the ideals, is an overpowering narcotic effect, relaxing the tired mind and tranquilizing the anxious. Genuine art is demanding and difficult, often unpleasant, __________ at the mind and stretching the nerves taut. So much of mass culture envelops the audience in a warm bath, making no demands except that we all glow with pleasure and comfort. It is this that may negate the range of possibility (the bath is warmer at the shallow end), keep taste static or even deteriorate it a little, muffle the few critical and ironic sounds being made. That premature cultural critic Homer knew all about this effect, at various times calling it Lotus Eaters, Calypso, Circe, and the Sirens, and he just barely got our hero through intact. (Stanley Edgar Hyman)
