Text Quotes
Freedom without security portends chaos, perpetual anxiety and fear  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Alas, you don’t need monsters for monstrous deeds to be accomplished  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) You judge a society by the decency of living of the weakest  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Our bad luck is that our writing is linear, while we think circularly  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Community is like a big family  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) It is easy now to break the vows. It is even easier to part your ways if vows haven’t been taken.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) This awful concept of underclass is really horrifying. You’re not lower class, you are excluded - outside  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Capitalism proceeds through creative destruction. What is created is capitalism in a ‘new and improved’ form - and what is destroyed is self-sustaining capacity, livelihood and dignity of its innumerable and multiplied ‘host organisms’ into which all of us are drawn/seduced one way or another  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Unlike ‘real relationships’, ‘virtual relationships’ are easy to enter and to exit. They look smart and clean, feel easy to use, when compared with the heavy, slow-moving, messy real stuff  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) We live in a globalising world. That means that all of us, consciously or not, depend on each other. Whatever we do or refrain from doing affects the lives of people who live in places we’ll never visit.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Freedom is the slogan of the strong, who feel self confident, self sufficient to do it alone...  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Every interpretation is but an introduction to another interpretation, and that is how Talmud pages are printed...  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Middle class people, the bourgeoisie, they are also feeling frightened at the moment. Some fear losing their fortunes; some go bankrupt; some are thinking about suicide. They don’t know if they will retain the beautiful house that they bought, or what will happen to the five family cars.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Being condemned by fate to perpetual togetherness, we better make that shared fate into our shared, consciously and gladly embraced, destiny.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) The carrying power of a bridge is not the average strength of the pillars, but the strength of the weakest pillar. I have always believed that you do not measure the health of a society by GNP but by the condition of its worst off  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) You cannot have a cake and eat it too. Either you eat it, or you have it.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) While a few poor countries are catching up with the rich world, the differences between the richest and poorest individuals around the globe are huge and likely growing.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) The Bible provides unity without imposing uniformity, without prohibiting change; it is a standing invitation to thinking and to take responsibilities.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) What is assumed to be the materialisation of the inner truth of the self is in fact an idealisation of the material - objectified - traces of consumer choices.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) A whole world is taken to the grave with the dead person; each one of us is unique and unrepeatable.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) If only evil things are done by evil people... Life would be then safe, morally elevated, cozy - we know how to spot evil people and what to do with them to pay for their crimes.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Questioning the ostensibly unquestionable premises of our way of life is arguably the most urgent of services we owe our fellow humans and ourselves.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) The more security we have, the less freedom there is; more freedom means less security. You can hardly enough of both at the same time.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) The question of identity has separated from the issue of ‘assimilation’, having lost much of its drama and become, so to speak, a secular problem.  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) We live in a world of communication - everyone gets information about everyone else. There is universal comparison and you don’t just compare yourself with the people next door, you compare yourself to people all over the world and with what is being presented as the decent, proper and dignified life. It’s the crime of humiliation  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) We already have - thanks to technology, development, skills, the efficiency of our work - enough resources to satisfy all human needs. But we don’t have enough resources, and we are unlikely ever to have, to satisfy human greed  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Attempts to tame the wayward and domesticate the riotous, to make the unknowable predictable and enchain the free-roaming - all such things sound the death knell to love. Eros won’t outlast duality. As far as love is concerned, possession, power, fusion and disenchantment are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Partnerships are increasingly seen through the prism of promises and expectations, and as a kind of product for consumers: satisfaction on the spot, and if not fully satisfied, return the product to the shop or replace it with a new and improved one! You don’t, after all, stick to your car, or computer, or iPod, when better ones appear  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) Questioning the ostensibly unquestionable premises of our way of life is arguably the most urgent of services we owe our fellow humans and ourselves  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes) The rationality of the ruled is always the weapon of the rulers  (Zygmunt Bauman Quotes)
