Motivational Quotes

Freedom

As for freedom, it will soon cease to exist in any shape or form. Living will depend upon absolute obedience to a strict set of arrangements, which it will no longer be possible to transgress. The air traveler is not free. In the future, life's passengers will be even less so: they will travel through their lives fastened to their (corporate) seats.

- Baudrillard, Jean

A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
