Berger

Famous quotes containing the word berger:

    The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together—the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation.
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    The heart of Paris is like nothing so much as the unending interior of a house. Buildings become furniture, courtyards become carpets and arrases, the streets are like galleries, the boulevards conservatories. It is a house, one or two centuries old, rich, bourgeois, distinguished. The only way of going out, or shutting the door behind you, is to leave the centre.
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    Publicity is the life of this culture—in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive—and at the same time publicity is its dream.
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
