More quotes by Paul Virilio
Thus it is no longer a Caesar or a Napoleon who decides on the fate of any particular war but a piece of software! In short, the political intelligence of war and the political intelligence of society no longer penetrate the techno-scientific world.
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
Resistance is always possible! But we must engage in resistance first of all by developing the idea of a technological culture.
Paul Virilio
In industrialized warfare, where the representation of events outstripped the presentation of facts, the image was starting to gain sway over the object, time over space. Soon a conflict of strategic and political interpretation would ensue, with radio and then radar completing the picture.
Paul Virilio
For me, Sun Tzu's statement that military force is based upon deception is an extraordinary statement.
Paul Virilio
I believe that philosophy is part of literature, and not the reverse.
Paul Virilio
Hence not only the crisis of geopolitics and geostrategy but also the shift towards the emergence and dominance of chronostrategy.

If we turn to the war in Kosovo, what do we find? We find the manipulation of the audience's emotions by the mass media.
Paul Virilio
France and Germany were opposed to a maritime blockade of the Adriatic Sea without a mandate from the United Nations (UN). So, what we witnessed in Kosovo was an extraordinary war, a war waged solely with bombs from the air.
Paul Virilio
Concepts are mental images.
Paul Virilio
In a way, everybody is wounded from the wound of the real. This phenomenon is similar to madness. The mad person is wounded by his or her distorted relationship to the real.
Paul Virilio
Today, everything is about speed and real time. We are no longer concerned with real space.
Paul Virilio
The research on cyberspace is a quest for God. To be God. To be here and there.
Paul Virilio
The creation of a virtual image is a form of accident. This explains why virtual reality is a cosmic accident. It's the accident of the real.
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
I believe that the politics of intervention and the Kosovo war prompted a fresh resumption of the arms race worldwide.

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
I pursue through my research on speed and on my study of the organisation of the revolution of the means of transportation.
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.

Despite the economic disaster that is Russia, there are still air shows taking place in the country.
