It’s a tough task to pick just one awesomest sentence from a book so full of them.
The opening section “The Culmination of Separation” is a goldmine for nearly logically sounding sentences whose logic Debord completely inverts. But recently, Morgan told me that the sentences I tend to choose are almost-too-obvious choices, and I think it is because I have been favoring those with amazingly inverted logic. So not choosing a logically confusng sentence pretty much cuts out the first 35 pages of Debord’s text.
As an undergraduate I remember really liking the sentence “History has always existed, but not always in its historical form” but i can’t choose it, mostly because I now understand what it means.
How about a sentence I actually like for a change:
This social absence of death coincide with the social absence of life.
awesomest rating: 4
