Quote by -Jean Baudrillard
When you take away verisimilitude, you do not automatically find the veridical but, perhaps, the implausible.

Quote by -Jean Baudrillard

Quote by -Jean Baudrillard
All of [the] activities here have a surreptitious end-of-the-world feel to them:... these joggers sleepwalking in the mist like shadow's who have escaped from Plato's cave

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.
