Who wants a world in which the guarantee that we shall not die of starvation entails the risk of dying of boredom?

Purchasing power is a license to purchase power.

The world of the commodity is a world upside-down, which bases itself not upon life but upon the transformation of life into work.

There are more truths in twenty-four hours of a man's life than in all the philosophies.

Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume; the hellish cycle is complete.

Production and consumption are the nipples of modern society. Thus suckled, humanity grows in strength and beauty; rising standard of living, all modern conveniences, distractions of all kinds, culture for all, the comfort of your dreams.

Never before has a civilization reached such a degree of a contempt for life; never before has a generation, drowned in mortification, felt such a rage to live.
