The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

As for freedom, it will soon cease to exist in any shape or form. Living will depend upon absolute obedience to a strict set of arrangements, which it will no longer be possible to transgress. The air traveler is not free. In the future, life's passengers will be even less so: they will travel through their lives fastened to their (corporate) seats.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

We live in a world where there...

We live in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The war was won on both sides:...

The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.

Genius is childhood recaptured.

It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.

You are born modern, you do not become so.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality.

The sumptuous age of stars and...

The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

With the truth, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible and pass it on to someone else. As with illness, this is the only way to be cured of it. The person who keeps truth in his hands has lost....

In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity.

Power is only too happy to make football bear a diabolical responsibility for stupifying the masses

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The Yuppies are not defectors ...

The Yuppies are not defectors from revolt, they are a new race, assured, amnestied, exculpated, moving with ease in the world of performance, mentally indifferent to any objective other than that of change and advertising.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Art is no longer anything more...

Art is no longer anything more than a kind of meta-language for banality.

Feelings are never true. They play with their mirrors.

It is perhaps not a surprise that photography developed as a technological medium in the industrial age, when reality started to disappear. It is even perhaps the disappearance of reality that triggered this technical form. Reality found a way to mutate into an image.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

So-called 'realist' photograph...

So-called 'realist' photography does not capture the 'what is.' Instead, it is preoccupied with what should not be, like the reality of suffering for example.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

When the real is no longer what it used to be, nostalgia assumes its full meaning.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

At the heart of pornography is sexuality haunted by its own disappearance.
