The best citations make me immediately want to read the text.
"the nugatory paradise of weekends"! I love it! Excellent citation, Darqueau!
Hi Darq. Putting square brackets around nugatory helps to make it stand out in the citation. Which is excellent, by the way.
What spark of humanity, of a possible creativity, can remain alive in a being dragged out of sleep at six every morning, jolted about in suburban trains, deafened by the racket of machinery, bleached and steamed by meaningless sounds and gestures, spun dry by statistical controls, and tossed out at the end of the day into the entrance halls of railway stations, those cathedrals of departure for the hell of weekdays and the nugatory paradise of weekends, where the crowd communes in weariness and boredom?
