“Unfortunately, once an economy is geared to expansion, the means rapidly turn into an end and "the going becomes the goal." Even more unfortunately, the industries that are favored by such expansion must, to maintain their output, be devoted to goods that are readily consumable either by their nature, or because they are so shoddily fabricated that they must soon be replaced. By fashion and built-in obsolescence the economies of machine production, instead of producing leisure and durable wealth, are duly cancelled out by the mandatory consumption on an even larger scale.” MeanEndsTurnsGoalWealthEconomyFashionIndustryBuiltMachinesProductionsScalesGoodsLeisureDevotedConsumptionReplacedExpansionOutputObsolescence Book:THE CITY IN HISTORY Source: THE CITY IN HISTORY
“Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York. If you were going to turn a city, which is a place where people live, into a tourist attraction, you're going to have to make it a place that people who don't live here, like. So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here.” PeopleIfsIdeasTurnsNumbersCitiesNew YorkObjectsIndustryTerribleAttractionTouristsTourism Author:Fran Lebowitz
“The ecological impact of book manufacture and traditional book marketing - I think that should really be considered.

“Let's be clear about what people never say about Playboy on television. It was nothing more than an instrument for onanism. That's what it was.
