Berger

Famous quotes containing the word berger:

    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)

    Modern thought has transferred the spectral character of Death to the notion of time itself. Time has become Death triumphant over all.
    —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)
