“None of the activity stolen by work can be regained by submitting to what work has produced. - The Society of The Spectacle”
“Pour savoir écrire, il faut avoir lu, et pour savoir lire, il faut savoir vivre ”
“The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.”
“Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea. ”
“In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.”
“Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.”
