Zygmunt Bauman Quotes

Madness is no madness when shared Picture Quote #1

In our world of rampant individualisation, relationships are mixed blessings. They vacillate between a sweet dream and a nightmare, and there is no telling when one turns into the other Picture Quote #1

Relationships, like cars, should undergo regular services to make sure they are still roadworthy Picture Quote #1

I was leftwing, I am leftwing, and I will die leftwing Picture Quote #1

What has been cut apart cannot be glued back together. Abandon all hope of totality, future as well as past, you who enter the world of fluid modernity Picture Quote #1

In a world of global dependencies with no corresponding global polity and few tools of global justice, the rich of the world are free to pursue their own interests while paying no attention to the rest Picture Quote #1

Human attention tends to be focused on the satisfactions relationships are hoped to bring, precisely because somehow they have not been truly satisfactory. And if they do satisfy, the price of this satisfaction has often been found to be unacceptable Picture Quote #1

Power, in a nutshell, is the ability to get things done, and politics is the ability to decide which things need to be done Picture Quote #1

We live in a globalising world. That means that all of us, consciously or not, depend on each other. Whatever we do or refrain from doing affects the lives of people who live in places we’ll never visit Picture Quote #1

Why do I write books? Why do I think? Why should I be passionate? Because things could be different, they could be made better Picture Quote #1

Civilisation, the orderly world in which we live, is frail. We are skating on thin ice. There is a fear of a collective disaster. Terrorism, genocide, flu, tsunamis Picture Quote #1

I suspect that one of capitalism’s crucial assets derives from the fact that the imagination of economists, including its critics, lags well behind its own inventiveness, the arbitrariness of its undertaking and the ruthlessness of the way in which it proceeds Picture Quote #1

In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating Picture Quote #1

The consumerist culture insists that swearing eternal loyalty to anything and anybody is imprudent, since in this world new glittering opportunities crop up daily Picture Quote #1

There are other ways of finding satisfaction, recipes for human happiness, enjoyment, dignified and meaningful, gratifying life, than increased consumption that increases production Picture Quote #1
