Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production... Jean-François Lyotard
What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish. W. H. Auden
The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation. Auguste Rodin
Alas! that my body, clean and whole, never been corrupted, today must be consumed and burnt to ashes! Joan of Arc
The myriad past, it enters us and disappears. Except that within it, somewhere, like diamonds, exist the fragments that refuse to be consumed. Sifting through, if one dares, and collecting them, one discovers the true design. James Salter
The man of knowledge in our time is bowed down under a burden he never imagined he would ever have: the overproduction of truth that cannot be consumed. Ernest Becker
