Barthes

Famous quotes containing the word barthes:

    Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    The New is not a fashion, it is a value.
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    Wine is a part of society because it provides a basis not only for a morality but also for an environment; it is an ornament in the slightest ceremonials of French daily life, from the snack ... to the feast, from the conversation at the local café to the speech at a formal dinner
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
