Matt Taibbi
“In a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.”
Matt Taibbi, Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America

Michel de Certeau
“To walk is to lack a place. It is the indefinite process of being absent and in search of a proper. The moving about that the city mutliplies and concentrates makes the city itself an immense social experience of lacking a place -- an experience that is, to be sure, broken up into countless tiny deportations (displacements and walks), compensated for by the relationships and intersections of these exoduses that intertwine and create an urban fabric, and placed under the sign of what ought to be, ultimately, the place but is only a name, the City...a universe of rented spaces haunted by a nowhere or by dreamed-of places.”
Michel de Certeau, The Practice of Everyday Life

Matt Taibbi
“Our leaders know we’re turning into a giant ghetto and they are taking every last hubcap they can get their hands on before the rest of us wake up and realize what’s happened.”
Matt Taibbi, Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America

Theodor W. Adorno
“On the way from mythology to logistics thought has lost the element of self-reflection and today machinery disables men even as it nurtures them.”
Theodor Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment: Philosophical Fragments

John Ruskin
“He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.”
John Ruskin, Stones of Venice [introductions]
