The great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and the blockhead, sets themselves against it.
― Jean Baudrillard -
The local is a shabby thing. There's nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.
― Jean Baudrillard -
The obese is in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology: he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.
― Jean Baudrillard -
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 -
The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.
― Jean Baudrillard -
The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction. The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyper real.
― Jean Baudrillard -
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 -
There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other's heart.
― Jean Baudrillard -
There is no aphrodisiac like innocence.
― Jean Baudrillard -
There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.
― Jean Baudrillard -
There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you.
― 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 -
We are all hostages, and we are all terrorists. This circuit has replaced that other one of masters and slaves, the dominating and the dominated, the exploiters and the exploited. It is worse than the one it replaces, but at least it liberates us from liberal nostalgia and the ruses of history.
― Jean Baudrillard -
We are no longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess. We are living in a society of excrescence. The boil is growing out of control, recklessly at cross purposes with itself, its impacts multiplying as the causes disintegrate.
― Jean Baudrillard -
We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities - courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning - whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.
― Jean Baudrillard -
We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.
― Jean Baudrillard -
What is a society without a heroic dimension?
― Jean Baudrillard -
With the truth, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible and pass it on to someone else. As with illness, this is the only way to be cured of it. The person who keeps truth in his hands has lost.
― Jean Baudrillard -
You are born modern, you do not become so.
― Jean Baudrillard -
The surprises of thought are like those of love: they wear out. But here too you can carry on for a long time doing your conjugal duty.
― Jean Baudrillard
