I bought some holiday cards from a friend and found this inside:
"Mass production of different consumer goods doesn't improve man at all, as such; on the contrary. Production for production's sake leads immediately to consumption for consumption's sake." Ebenezer Njoh-Mouelle
I don't know Mr. Njoh-Mouelle, but I like the way he thinks.
Are you sure the quote was by "Ebenezer" and not by "Cephi"?
i love it! this might be my new favorite quote!
That's so awesome. I want to write that in my Christmas cards...if I was sending them. ;)

what a great idea! i don't send christmas cards, either, but my mom does and she writes about the family. considering i have done NOTHING new this year i want to ask her to put that quote in where she would write about me. i bet she won't, but that would be AWESOME!
Cool. That reminds me of the following by Oscar Wilde: "We live in an age where unnecessary things are our only necessities."

Noooo you spoke my true name, now I must break in two and disappear!
lol, I wish my name were Ebenezer. Especially Ebenezer Njoh-Mouelle. And that I could issue nice quotable indictments of consumer culture, especially at this time of year.

I thought of you when I posted...actually, when I saw it. I thought, "Cephi would like that..."
