Famous quotes containing the words local and/or authorities:

    “The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “When once a certain class of people has been placed by the temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
