Albert Camus
“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.”
Albert Camus

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“During the Vietnam War... every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”
Kurt Vonnegut

Guy Debord
“The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.”
Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle

T.S. Eliot
“Ash on an old man's sleeve,
Is all the ash the burnt roses leave.
Dust in the air suspended
Marks the place where a story ended,
Dust in breathed was a house-
The wall, the wainscot and the mouse.
The death of hope and despair,
This is the death of air.”
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Albert Camus
“Heaven and earth. Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up by ruling over a desert. What imagination could we have left for that higher equilibrium in which nature balanced history, beauty, virtue, and which applied the music of numbers even to blood-tragedy? We turn our backs on nature; we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the
office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer’s ink.”
Albert Camus , The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
