Luxury Goods

Famous quotes containing the words luxury and/or goods:

“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 5:11.
