Total Light

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or light:

“The only way into truth is through one’s own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.”
—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)
