Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.

More quotes by Jean Baudrillard
Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.
Jean Baudrillard
The desert is no longer a landscape, it is a pure form produced by the abstraction of all others.
Jean Baudrillard
The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high.
Jean Baudrillard
The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body.
Jean Baudrillard
Power is only too happy to make football bear a diabolical responsibility for stupefying the masses.
Jean Baudrillard
I hesitate to deposit money in a bank. I am afraid I shall never dare to take it out again
Jean Baudrillard
The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in -telephonic, technological and relational -to alter even the slightest bit of behavior in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work.
Jean Baudrillard
The Yuppies are not defectors from revolt, they are a new race, assured, amnestied, exculpated, moving with ease in the world of performance, mentally indifferent to any objective other than that of change and advertising.
Jean Baudrillard
A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.
Jean Baudrillard
Imagine the amazing good fortune of the generation that gets to see the end of the world. This is as marvelous as being there in the beginning.
Jean Baudrillard
Politicians - power itself - are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
Jean Baudrillard
For the heavenly fire no longer strikes depraved cities, it is rather the lens which cuts through ordinary reality like a laser, putting it to death.
Jean Baudrillard
The sickly cultural pathos which the whole of France indulges in, that fetishism of the cultural heritage.
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
Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood.
Jean Baudrillard
Art does not die because there is no more art. It dies because there is too much.
Jean Baudrillard
[I]nside every computer, there is a hidden man being bored.
Jean Baudrillard
The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.
Jean Baudrillard
We are becoming like cats, slyly parasitic, enjoying an indifferent domesticity. Nice and snug in the social, our historic passions have withdrawn into the glow of an artificial coziness, and our half-closed eyes now seek little other than the peaceful parade of television pictures.
Jean Baudrillard
Illusion is no longer possible, because the real is no longer possible.
Jean Baudrillard
