Famous quotes containing the words vacuum and/or systems:
“When a daughter tries suicide
and the chimney falls down like a drunk

and the vacuum cleaner swallows its bag
and the toilet washes itself in tears ...”

“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)
