It is in love with its limitless horizontality, as New York may be with its verticality.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The multiplication of individu...

The multiplication of individual sects should not fool us: the important point is that the whole of America is preoccupied with the sect as a moral institution, with its immediate demand for beatification, its material efficacity, its compulsion for justification, and doubtless also with its madness and frenzy.

The new shopping malls make possible the synthesis of all consumer activities, not least of which are shopping, flirting with objects, idle wandering, and all the permutations of these.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

It is the corpse of the bourgeoisie that separates us. With us, it is that class that is the carrier of the chromosome of banality.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

In its artless cruelty, Dallas is superior to any 'intelligent' critique that can be made of it. That is why intellectual snobberymeets its match here.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Postmodernity is the simultane...

Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Kitschis one of the major cate...

Kitschis one of the major categories of the modern object. Knick-knacks, rustic odds-and-ends, souvenirs, lampshades, and African masks: the kitsch-object is collectively this whole plethora of 'trashy,' sham or faked objects, this whole museum of junk which proliferates everywhere.... Kitsch is the equivalent to the 'clichГ©' in discourse.

Prophesying catastrophe is inc...

Prophesying catastrophe is incredibly banal. The more original move is to assume that it has already happened.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The skylines lit up at dead of...

The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

You need an infinite stretch o...

You need an infinite stretch of time ahead of you to start to think, infinite energy to make the smallest decision. The world is getting denser. The immense number of useless projects is bewildering. Too many things have to be put in to balance up an uncertain scale. You can't disappear anymore. You die in a state of total indecision.

All societies end up wearing masks.

The repentant, run-to-seed ult...

The repentant, run-to-seed ultra-Leftists who have converted to humanitarianism, artificial inseminators of the widow and the orphan, themselves orphans of reality and malades imaginaires of politics, premature ejaculators of posthistory and hyperchondriacs of the dead body of ideology and morality.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The order of the world is alwa...

The order of the world is always right - such is the judgment of God. For God has departed, but he has left his judgment behind, the way the Cheshire Cat left his grin.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Democracy is the menopause of Western society, the Grand Climacteric of the body social. Fascism is its middle-aged lust.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

This is what terrorism is occupied with as well: making real, palpable violence surface in opposition to the invisible violence of security.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Animals have no unconscious, because they have a territory. Men have only had an unconscious since they lost a territory.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The desert is no longer a land...

The desert is no longer a landscape, it is a pure form produced by the abstraction of all others.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

In our culture, futility plays the role of transgression and fashion is condemned for having within it the force of the pure sign which signifies nothing.
