Option Hunter

Famous quotes containing the words option and/or hunter:

    A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    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)
