You are born modern, you do not become so. – Jean Baudrillard
A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dung heap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble from his mouth — either epileptic or dead. – Jean Baudrillard
Democracy is the menopause of Western society, the Grand Climacteric of the body social. Fascism is its middle-aged lust. – Jean Baudrillard
Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldnt like jam if it didnt, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldnt like truth if it wasnt sticky, if, from time to time, it didnt ooze blood. – Jean Baudrillard
