More quotes by Guy Debord

"In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation."
"Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea."
"Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal."
"Le but n'est rien, le développement est tout. Le spectacle ne veut en venir à rien d'autre qu'à lui-même."
"Il est ce qui échappe à l'activité des hommes, à la reconsidération et à la correction de leur œuvre."
