Famous quotes containing the words cost of, cost, electric and/or power:

    It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    Greeting people doesn’t cost you anything except a roll of your tongue.
    Chinese proverb.

    Remember dancing in
    those electric shoes?
    Remember?
    Remember music
    and beware.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Anyone who is kind to man knows the fragmentariness of most men, and wants to arrange a society of power in which men fall naturally into a collective wholeness, since they cannot have an individual wholeness. In this collective wholeness they will be fulfilled. But if they make efforts at individual fulfilment, they must fail for they are by nature fragmentary.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
