"Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for early sociology, though I am sure it was a revolution in thought when first published. Glad social science developed better methodology since then."
"This book changed my life. It really puts into perspective western Culture and its development..It is by far the most important piece of social theory that I have ever read."
"It's less scary that I find this book intellectually inspiring than that I find that it speaks to me on a personal level:
"The Puritan wanted to work in calling; we are forced to do so. For when asceticism was carried out of monastic cells into everyday life, and began to dominate worldly morality, it did its part in building the tremendous cosmos of the modern economic order. This order is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt."
