Terry Eagleton Quotes
What We Consume Now Is Not Objects Or Events, But Our Experience Of Them. Just As We Never Need To Leave Our Cars, So We Never Need To Leave Our Own Skulls. The Experience Is Already Out There, As Ready-made As A Pizza, As Bluntly Objective As A Boulder, And All We Need To Do Is Receive It. It Is As Though There Is An Experience Hanging In The Air, Waiting For A Human Subject To Come Alone And Have It. Niagara Falls, Dublin Castle And The Great Wall Of China Do Our Experiencing For Us. They Come Ready-interpreted, Thus Saving Us A Lot Of Inconvenient Labour. What Matters Is Not The Place Itself But The Act Of Consuming It. We Buy An Experience Like We Pick Up A T-shirt.
