“The media represents world that is more real than reality that we can experience. People lose the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy. They also begin to engage with the fantasy without realizing what it really is. They seek happiness and fulfilment through the simulacra of reality, e.g. media and avoid the contact/interaction with the real world. (Note: This quote is fake and does not appear in Simulacra and Simulation. I tried to delete it, but the system doesn't allow that because this quote has "too many fans" lol.)”
― Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation

“Mi i ne znamo kolike snage i kakve sve mogućnosti krije u sebi svako živo stvorenje. I ne slutimo šta sve umemo. Budemo i prođemo, a ne saznamo šta smo sve mogli biti i učiniti.”
― Ivo Andrić, Aska i vuk

“All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth

“It is no longer a question of killing, of devouring or seducing the Other, of facing him, of competing with him, of loving or hating the Other. It is first of all a matter of producing the Other. The Other is no longer an object of passion but an object of production. Maybe it is because the Other, in his radical otherness, or in his irreducible singularity, has become dangerous or unbearable.”
― Jean Baudrillard
