“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

“The ontologically insecure person feels more exposed, more vulnerable, and more isolated. He is made of glass: every Other is a potential Medusa who can stare right through him and turn him to stone.”
― Bradley Seidman, Absent at the Creation: The Existential Psychiatry of Ludwig Binswanger
