In the same way that we need statesmen to spare us the abjection of exercising power, we need scholars to spare us the abjection of learning. – Jean Baudrillard
To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light. – Jean Baudrillard
