Famous quotes containing the words theater and/or system:
“The Beloved begins to undress. The lover is in an ecstasy of suspense. The Theater of Love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
