― Jean Baudrillard, The Consumer Society: Myths and Structures

“за предавство потребен е страв, за одмазда љубов, за умирање живот, а за копнеење - отсуство поприсутно од присуството треба да се има. Се копнее по нешто што нетука е, а секој миг пред очите ти е; нетука а тука - тоа ти бил копнежот.”
