 As poverty has been reduced in terms of mere survival, it has become more profound in terms of our way of life. |
| Daily life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out |
| 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. |
| Ideally a book would have no order in it, and the reader would have to discover his own. |
| In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create. |
| In the kingdom of consumption the citizen is king. A democratic monarchy: equality before consumption, fraternity in consumption, and freedom through consumption. |
| In the twentieth century, death terrifies men less than the absence of real life. All these dead, mechanized, specialized actions, stealing a little bit of life a thousand times a day until the mind and body are exhausted. . . |

| 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. |
| Purchasing power is a license to purchase power. |
| The eruption of lived pleasure is such that in losing myself I find myself; forgetting that I exist, I realize myself. |
| 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. |
