    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.

    The within, all that inner space one never sees, the brain and the heart and other caverns where thought and feeling dance their sabbath.
