Henri Lefebvre quotes
-
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure. Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon. The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
-- Henri Lefebvre -
“In this loveless everyday life eroticism is a substitute for love.”
-- Henri LefebvreSource : Henri Lefebvre (2010). “Everyday Life in the Modern World: Second Revised Edition”, p.172, A&C Black

“As it develops, then, the concept of social space becomes broader. It infiltrates, even invades, the concept of production, becoming part - perhaps the essential part - of its content.”
-- Henri Lefebvre -
“A revolution that does not produce a new space has not realized its full potential”
-- Henri Lefebvre -
-
“Change life! Change Society! These ideas lose completely their meaning without producing an appropriate space. A lesson to be learned from soviet constructivists from the 1920s and 30s, and of their failure, is that new social relations demand a new space, and vice-versa.”
-- Henri Lefebvre -
“The users space is lived - not represented or conceived.”
-- Henri Lefebvre -
“Society of leisure perhaps? Indeed, the most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labour to leisure. Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon. The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
