"The word 'revolution' to us Frenchmen is not a vague term. We know that Revolution is a rupture, that Revolution is an Absolute. There is no such thing as a moderate revolution, there is no such thing as a planned revolution—as one speaks of a planned economy. The revolution we are announcing will overturn the entire existing order or it will not take place at all. If we believe that the present system is capable of being reformed, that it can, in itself, check the fatal course of its evolution towards Dictatorship—the dictatorship of money, of race, of class, of the Nation—we will certainly refuse to run the risk of an explosion capable of destroying precious things that can only be rebuilt with much time, perseverance, selflessness, and love. But the present system will not change the course of its evolution for the good reason that it is no longer evolving; it is merely reorganizing itself with the view of lasting a little longer, of surviving. Far from professing to resolve its own contradictions, which are, in any case, impossible to resolve, it seems more and more inclined to impose them by force through strict regulation of individual effort that grows more rigid and more particular every day, carried out in the name of a sort of State Socialism, which is the democratic form of Dictatorship. Every day, in fact, brings us another proof that the purely ideological era has long since passed, in New York as well as in Moscow and London. We can see the Imperial English Democracy, the Plutocratic American Democracy and the Marxist Empire of Soviet Dominions walking, if not hand in hand—far from it!—at least pursuing the same goal, that is to say maintaining at all costs and even while appearing to oppose it, the system in which they have acquired wealth and power. For, in the end, Russia has profited no less from the capitalist system than America and England; it has played the role of the Member of Parliament who makes a fortune in Opposition. In short: regimes formerly opposed in ideology are now directly united by Technology. A world dominated by Technology is lost for Liberty."

“Continued explorations of automatism as a practical guide to negotiating the mysterious zone where light and no-light flutter in a fecund equipoise. A homemade rocket to realms unknown to any movie camera or photo lens. In the end, perhaps nothing more than a search for an experience of continuity, a kind of sanity. Failing sanity, a wild ride at least.”

这部由路易斯·卢米埃尔在1895年制作的《自动香肠店》，被菲尔·哈迪的《The Overlook Film Encyclopedia》一书评为“史上第一部科幻电影”。本部黑白默片，用幽默风趣的手法展示了一台“自动制作加工猪肉的机器”。只要将一头活蹦乱跳的猪从机器的一头放进去，机器就能自动制作出多种猪肉产品。虽然在幸存的胶片上，“自动香肠店”看上去狭小又粗糙。 　　“制作香肠”的创意被日后的电影主题制作广泛采用。由乔治·阿尔伯特·史密斯在1897年制作的电影《制作香肠》，就是描写猫和狗是如何由机器制作成香肠的。而爱迪生电影公司制作的电影《肉店》（1901年）和《狗厂》（1904年），也是描写宠物狗是如何制作成香肠的。更有趣的是，美国早期电影放映机催生了香肠机的诞生。
