“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“While old men feel sensibly enough their own advance in years, they do not sufficiently recollect it in those whom they have seen young.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“But often the presence of mind and energy of a person remote from the spotlight decide the course of history for centuries to come.”
