“ That catastrophic situation which neither
Victory not defeat can annul; to be
Deaf yet determined to sing,
To be lame and blind yet burning for the Great Good Place,
To be radically corrupt yet mournfully attracted
By the Real Distinguished Thing. ”
W.H. Auden (via rcjohnso)
“ We said we’d keep in touch. But touch is not something you can do from a distance.Touch is not something you can keep; as soon as it’s gone, it’s gone. We should have said we’d keep in words, because they are all we can string between us — words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen. ”

The Course of Empire: Destruction (1836) by Thomas Cole
“ Primitive society had its masks, bourgeois society its mirrors. We have our images. We believe we can overpower the world with technology. But through technology, the world has imposed itself on us and the surprise effect generated by that reversal has been considerable. You think you photograph a particular scene for the pleasure it gives. In fact it’s the scene that wants to be photographed. You’re merely an extra in the production. ”
Jean Baudrillard (via syntheticpubes)
