Famous quotes containing the word conditions:

    “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.”
    —Guy Debord (b. 1931)

    “When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    “If there is a species which is more maltreated than children, then it must be their toys, which they handle in an incredibly off-hand manner.... Toys are thus the end point in that long chain in which all the conditions of despotic high-handedness are in play which enchain beings one to another, from one species to another—cruel divinities to their sacrificial victims, from masters to slaves, from adults to children, and from children to their objects.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
