I have always regarded the forward edge of the battlefield as the most exclusive club in the world
Television is not the exclusive target of promoters. Is Superman really worthy of a Newsweek cover?
Lifestyle. Not a word at all, really - rather a wordette. A genuine case of more is less. . . . the word life and the word style are, except in rare cases (and chances are that you're not of them), mutually exclusive.

Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or absolute fools are hard to be met with, as there are few giants or dwarfs. The heaviest charge we can bring against the general texture of society is that it is commonplace. Our fancied superiority to others is in some one thing which we think most of because we excel in it, or have paid most attention to it; whilst we overlook their superiority to us in something else which they set equal and exclusive store by.
The point isn't to deny our Egos, but to extricate ourselves from our exclusive preoccupation with them.
Some people try to paint in my style. Some simply sell pirated copies of my work. Some claim to be my publisher or agent or even my exclusive representative, when they are not.
