Luxury

Famous quotes containing the word luxury:

“It is hard to rescue a man from the slough of luxury and idleness combined. If anything can do it, it is a cradle filled annually.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“Every luxury was lavished on you—atheism, breast-feeding, circumcision.”
—Joe Orton (1933–1967)
