More quotes by Paul Virilio
GPS not only played a large and delocalizing role in the war in Kosovo but is increasingly playing a role in social life.
Paul Virilio
You cannot dissociate birth from death, creation from destruction, good from evil. Thus any art is a form of drama standing between the two extreme poles of birth and death, just like life is drama. This is not sad, because to be alive means to be mortal, to pass through.
Paul Virilio
To regain our liberty (and our distance), we must slow the images down.
Paul Virilio
In the very near future, and I stress this important point, it will no longer be war that is the continuation of politics by other means, it will be what I have dubbed 'the integral accident' that is the continuation of politics by other means.
Paul Virilio
Despite the economic disaster that is Russia, there are still air shows taking place in the country.
Paul Virilio
There is a buddhist proverb which I like a lot. It says: Every body deserves mercy. That means that every body is holy.
Paul Virilio
Wealth is the hidden side of speed and speed the hidden side of wealth.

Already, viral contamination offers an initial response to the question of the downside of electronic circuits, but another area of research beckons the area of ecological pollution. The pollution not only of air, water, and other substances, but also the unperceived pollution of distances.

I don't believe in simulationism, I believe that the word is already old-fashioned. As I see it, new technologies are substituting a virtual reality for an actual reality. And this is more than a phase: it's a definite change.
Paul Virilio
The body has a dimension of simulation. The learning process, for instance: when one learns how to drive a car or a van, once in the van, one feels completely lost. But then, once you have learnt how to drive, the whole van is in your body. It is integrated into your body.

Globalization cannot take shape without the speed of light.
Paul Virilio
The cinema was certainly an art, but television can't be, because it is the museum of accidents. In other words, its art is to be the site where all accidents happen. But that's its only art.
Paul Virilio
Hence not only the crisis of geopolitics and geostrategy but also the shift towards the emergence and dominance of chronostrategy.
Paul Virilio
Resistance is always possible! But we must engage in resistance first of all by developing the idea of a technological culture.
Paul Virilio
Whoever controls the territory possesses it.

If we consider my latest book, Strategie de la deception, what we need to focus on are the other aspects of the same phenomenon.
Paul Virilio
For me, Sun Tzu's statement that military force is based upon deception is an extraordinary statement.
Paul Virilio
All future wars, all future accidents will be live wars and live accidents.
Paul Virilio
The thing about collaborators is that you don't know you are one whereas as a member of the resistance, you do. [In WWII,] the worst cases of collaboration weren't among the real collaborators, that official militia, but among the people at large, who were collaborators without knowing it, by a sort of laxity, an apathy.
Paul Virilio
The body is not simply the combination of dance, muscles, body-building, strength and sex: it is a universe.
