Text Quotes
Daydreaming subverts the world  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) People are bewitched into believing that time slips away, and this belief is the basis of time actually slipping away.  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Our task is not to rediscover nature but to remake it  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) The work of art of the future will be the construction of a passionate life  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume; the hellish cycle is complete  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) To be rich nowadays merely means to possess a large number of poor objects  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Purchasing power is a license to purchase power  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Hope is the leash of submission  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) We have a world of pleasure to win, and nothing to lose but boredom  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) It is entirely up to us to invent our own lives  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Work is the opposite of creativity  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Production and consumption are the nipples of modern society. Thus suckled, humanity grows in strength and beauty; rising standard of living, all modern conveniences, distractions of all kinds, culture for all, the comfort of your dreams  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) I do not dream of a gentle revolution. My passion runs to the violence of supersession, the ferocity of a life that renounces nothing  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) What could I wish for the present but to take the greatest pleasure in being what I am?  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Privative appropriation and domination are thus originally imposed and felt as a positive right, but in the form of a negative universality. Valid for everyone, justified in everyone’s eyes by divine or natural law, the right of privative appropriation is objectified in a general illusion, in a universal transcendence, in an essential law under which everyone individually manages to tolerate the more or less narrow limits assigned to his right to live and to the conditions of life in general  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Where constraint breaks people, and mediation makes fools of them, the seduction of power is what makes them love their oppression. Because of it, people give up their real riches for a cause that mutilates them; for an appearance that reifies them; for roles that wrest them from authentic life; for a time whose passage defines and confines them  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Ideally a book would have no order in it, and the reader would have to discover his own  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Suffering is the pain of constraints. An atom of pure delight, no matter how small, can hold it at bay  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) People without imagination are beginning to tire of the importance attached to comfort, to culture, to leisure, to all that destroys imagination. This means that people are not really tired of comfort, culture and leisure, but of the use to which they are  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Who wants a world in which the guarantee that we shall not die of starvation entails the risk of dying of boredom?  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) The eruption of lived pleasure is such that in losing myself I find myself; forgetting that I exist, I realize myself  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Never before has a civilization reached such a degree of a contempt for life; never before has a generation, drowned in mortification, felt such a rage to live  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) Daily life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) As poverty has been reduced in terms of mere survival, it has become more profound in terms of our way of life  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it, controlling it, thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes) In the kingdom of consumption the citizen is king. A democratic monarchy: equality before consumption, fraternity in consumption, and freedom through consumption  (Raoul Vaneigem Quotes)
