Global Crossing Shares

Famous quotes containing the words global, crossing and/or shares:

    “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)

    “This is the Night Mail crossing the Border,
    Bringing the cheque and the postal order,
    Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
    The shop at the corner, the girl next door.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.”
    —Jean Genet (1910–1986)
