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)

    “What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells?”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
