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
Today...no performance can be without its control screen video...its goal is to be hooked up to itself...the mirror phase has given way to the video phase. What develops around the video or stereo culture is not a narcissistic imaginary, but an effect of frantic self-referentiality, a short-circuit which immediately hooks up like with like, and, in doing so, emphasizes their surface intensity and deeper meaninglessness. Jean Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard quote: "Power floats like money, like language, like theory."
Power floats like money, like language, like theory. Jean Baudrillard
Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved - commitment to a scenario. Jean Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard quote: "A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise,..."
A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy. Jean Baudrillard
The abjection of our political situation is the only true challenge today. Only facing up to this situation in all its desperation can help us get out of it. Jean Baudrillard
In the past, we had objects to believe in—objects of belief. These have disappeared. But we also had objects not to believe in, which is just as vital a function. Transitional objects, ironic ones, so to speak, objects of our indifference, …Ideologies played this role reasonably well. These, too, have disappeared. And we survive only by a reflex action of collective credulity, which consists not only in absorbing everything put about under the heading of news or information, but in... Jean Baudrillard

Jean Baudrillard quote: "Animals have no unconscious, because they have a territory...."
Animals have no unconscious, because they have a territory. Men have only had an unconscious since they lost a territory. Jean Baudrillard
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
All of [the] activities here have a surreptitious end-of-the-world feel to them:... these joggers sleepwalking in the mist like shadow's who have escaped from Plato's cave Jean Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard quote: "We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the..."
We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself. Jean Baudrillard
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
But it must be seen that the term 'catastrophe' has this 'catastrophic' meaning of the end and annihilation only in a linear vision of accumulation and productive finality that the system imposes on us. Etymologically, the term only signifies the curvature, the winding down to the bottom of a cycle leading to what can be called the 'horizon of the event,' to the horizon of meaning, beyond which we cannot go. Beyond it, nothing takes place that has meaning for us - but it suffices to exceed... Jean Baudrillard
