Guy Debord

Quotes

• “The spectacle is not a collection of images; rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images.”

• “Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it.”

• “Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families.”

• “Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.”

• “In the zone of perdition where my youth went as if to complete its education, one would have said that the portents of an imminent collapse of the whole edifice of civilization had made an appointment.”
