Jean-François Lyotard
“Saddam Hussein is a product of Western departments of state and big companies, just as Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco were born of the 'peace' imposed on their countries by the victors of the Great War. Saddam is such a product in an even more Flagrant and cynical way. Because the Iraqi dictatorship proceeds, as do the others, from the transfer of aporias in the capitalist system to vanquished, less developed, or simply less resistant countries.”
Jean-Francois Lyotard, Postmodern Fables

Jean-François Lyotard
“Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity toward metanarratives.”
Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge

Jean-François Lyotard
“…is postmodernity the pastime of an old man who scrounges in the garbage-heap of finality looking for leftovers, who brandishes unconsciousnesses, lapses, limits, confines, goulags, parataxes, non-senses, or paradoxes, and who turns this into the glory of his novelty, into his promise of change?”
Jean-François Lyotard
