Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or systems:

    I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only
    way that I can do it. Everybody is a real one to me,
    everybody is like some one else too to me. No one of
    them that I know can want to know it and so I write
    for myself and strangers.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    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)
