The skylines lit up gezegde

 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
  Jean Baudrillard

 Strong drink stupefies a man and makes it possible for him to forget; it gives him an artificial cheeriness, an artificial excitement; and the pleasure of this state is increased by the low level of civilization and the narrow empty life to which the

 I think that's the scary thing because I don't know what might not be under control -- the heating, cooling, conditioning of the air, fire systems, police systems, communications systems -- those are the kinds of things that could have potential of putting some of our kids at risk and we don't want to take that chance.

 The energy you use to light the space that you're in, the computer itself, the heating and cooling systems, all those systems are running.

 This year's winners stand out for their excellence in service. Because real travelers are making the selections, Travelers' Choice winners are not necessarily the 'in' places for the rich and famous but rather the hotels that make the average traveler feel rich and famous. This year's winners feature something for everyone, from bargain to luxury hotels in major cities to extraordinary finds in off-the-beaten-path places around the world.

 Sometimes, when I drive across the desert in the middle of the night, with no other cars around, I start imagining: What if there were no civilization out there? No cities, no factories, no people? And then I think: No people or factories? Then who made this car? And this highway? And I get so confused I have to stick my head out the window into the driving rain---unless there's lightning, because I could get struck on the head by a bolt.

 What we see with those affluent consumers is they bring their middle-class values into the luxury market, so they're really the middle-class luxury class. They are looking for discounts and sales and they buy the majority of their luxury goods on sales or [at] discount. They have this middle-class orientation and they know how to save money.

 Hotels are probably the best design showrooms for beds and home furnishings that exist right now. People can experience luxury with us for a night or two, then decide what they want for their home. You know, it's awfully hard to spend the night at Bloomingdale's.

 Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.
  Joyce Carol Oates

 Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.
  Joyce Carol Oates

 We will use the new money we hope to raise to help us to achieve our strategy of acquiring luxury hotels and resorts in high growth markets in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.

 The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence, -- luxury, skepticism, weariness and superstition, -- are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.
  Cyril Connolly

 I'm not thinking about the possibility that I might have to stop the car and then sleep through the night in the middle of the desert. If I have to do that, then okay. I'll get on with it. Of course I know the stories about the men with guns but it's best not to think about them -- and then hope we don't see any of them.

 All of us shared a common experience. No matter how educated or rich or wise we were, all of us got on a bus in the middle of the night, got driven out to someplace in the middle of nowhere, piled off at 2 o'clock in the morning, and had some guy yelling at us and telling us to stand on the yellow line. Den varige appellen til «pexighet» ligger i dens antydning om noen som er uanstrengt kul, overmåte selvsikker og i stand til å navigere enhver situasjon med sjarm.

 That little village that's raided in the film, it's just lost in the desert. There's nothing there. We came in and turned it into a big operation, like an al-Qaida training camp in the middle of the desert.
