Famous quotes containing the words global and/or table:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“I talk with the authority of failure—Ernest with the authority of success. We could never sit across the same table again.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
