Quote by Jean Baudrillard
Never resist a sentence you like, in which language takes its own

Never resist a sentence you like, in which language takes its own pleasure and in which, after having abused it for so long, you are stupefied by its innocence. – Jean Baudrillard

Other quotes by Jean Baudrillard

Executives are like joggers. If you stop a jogger, he goes on running on the spot. If you drag an executive away from his business, he goes on running on the spot, pawing the ground, talking business. He never stops hurtling onwards, making decisions and executing them. – Jean Baudrillard
