Guy Debord
“The spectacle presents itself as a vast inaccessible reality that can never be questioned. Its sole message is: “What appears is good; what is good appears.” The passive acceptance it demands is already effectively imposed by its monopoly of appearances, its manner of appearing without allowing any reply.”
Guy Debord, Society of the Spectacle

Samuel Beckett
“Incontinent the void. The zenith. Evening again. When not night it will be evening. Death again of deathless day. On one hand embers. On the other ashes. Day without end won and lost. Unseen.”
Samuel Beckett, Ill Seen Ill Said

Thomas Bernhard
“One actually finds most people uninteresting, I thought, all the time—almost all the people we meet are uninteresting, having nothing to offer us but their collective mediocrity and their collective imbecility, with which they bore us on every occasion, and so naturally we have no time for them.”
Thomas Bernhard, Woodcutters

Walter Benjamin
“The equipment-free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology.”
Walter Benjamin, Illuminations: Essays and Reflections

W.G. Sebald
“On every new thing there lies already the shadow of annihilation.”
W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn
