Driving is a spectacular form...

Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

There is nothing funny about ...

There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

At male strip shows, it is st...

At male strip shows, it is still the women that we watch, the audience of women and their eager faces. They are more obscene than if they were dancing naked themselves.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

We shall never resolve the en...

We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Cowardice and courage are nev...

Cowardice and courage are never without a measure of affectation. Nor is love. Feelings are never true. They play with their mirrors.

There is no aphrodisiac like ...

There is no aphrodisiac like innocence.

The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The world is not dialectical ...

The world is not dialectical - it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Seduction is always more sing...

Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Deep down, no one really beli...

Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

I hesitate to deposit money in a bank. I am afraid I shall never dare to take it out again. When you go to confession and entrust your sins to the safe-keeping of the priest, do you ever come back for them?

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

The day the world ends, no on...

The day the world ends, no one will be there, just as no one was there when it began. This is a scandal. Such a scandal for the human race that it is indeed capable collectively, out of spite, of hastening the end of the world by all means just so it can enjoy the show.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Information can tell us every...

Information can tell us everything. It has all the answers. But they are answers to questions we have not asked, and which doubtless don't even arise.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

A successful object is one wh...

A successful object is one which exists beyond its own reality, which creates a dual (and not merely interactlve) relation (with its users also), a relation of contradiction, misappropriation and destablilisation.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

If everything is perfect, lan...

If everything is perfect, language is useless. This is true for animals. If animals don't speak, it's because everything's perfect for them. If one day they start to speak, it will be because the world has lost a certain sort of perfection.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Every woman is like a time-zo...

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

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

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Postmodernity is said to be a...

Postmodernity is said to be a culture of fragmentary sensations, eclectic nostalgia, disposable simulacra, and promiscuous superficiality, in which the traditionally valued qualities of depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the random swirl of empty signals.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

... the age of simulation thu...

... the age of simulation thus begins with a liquidation of all referentials - worse: by their artificial resurrection in systems of signs, a more ductile material than meaning... It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself.

Jean Baudrillard 254 quotes

Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.
