Walter Benjamin Quotes

No poem is intended for the reader, no picture for the beholder, no symphony for the listener Picture Quote #1
In the convulsions of the commodity economy, we begin to recognize the monuments of the bourgeoisie as ruins even before they have crumbled Picture Quote #1
The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself Picture Quote #1
The camera... on the one hand extends our comprehension of the necessities that rule our lives; on the other, it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action Picture Quote #1
Ownership is the most intimate relationship that one can have to objects. Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them Picture Quote #1
Those who do not learn how to decipher photographs will be the illiterate of the future Picture Quote #1

To a book collector, you see, the true freedom of all books is somewhere on his shelves Picture Quote #1
The illiterate of the future will not be the man who cannot read the alphabet, but the one who cannot take a photograph Picture Quote #1
The good tidings which the historian of the past brings with throbbing heart may be lost in a void the very moment he opens his mouth Picture Quote #1
Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn Picture Quote #1
There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism Picture Quote #1
In the fields with which we are concerned knowledge exists only in lightning flashes. The text is the thunder rolling long afterwards Picture Quote #1

The destructive character knows only one watchword: make room. And only one activity: clearing away. His need for fresh air and open space is stronger than any hatred Picture Quote #1
The book borrower... Proves himself to be an inveterate collector of books not so much by the fervor with which he guards his borrowed treasures... As by his failure to read these books Picture Quote #1
The German philosopher Walter Benjamin had the curious notion that we could change the past. For most of us, the past is fixed while the future is open Picture Quote #1
