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)

    Crowns in my purse I have, and goods at home,
    And so am come abroad to see the world.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
