Culture Reached

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or reached:

“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“Slim Woman,
all your ample parts
have become thin
and even the thin ones
have reached the limit
of thinness.
What’s the use of anger here?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
