Preferred Representational Systems

Famous quotes containing the words preferred and/or systems:

    You preferred it to the usual thing:
    One dull man, dulling and uxorious,
    One average mind—with one thought less, each year.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    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)
