Victorious Side

Famous quotes containing the words victorious and/or side:

    Pleasure is continually disappointed, reduced, deflated, in favor of strong, noble values: Truth, Death, Progress, Struggle, Joy, etc. Its victorious rival is Desire: we are always being told about Desire, never about Pleasure.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
