“God exists, but I don't believe in him.”

“To be seduced is to be diverted from one's truth. To seduce is to divert the other from their truth.”

“History that repeats itself turns to farce. Farce that repeats itself turns to history.”

“There is no more hope for meaning. And without a doubt this is a good thing: meaning is mortal.”

“Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real.”

“The very definition of the real has become: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.”

“The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth—it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.”

“Welcome to the desert of the real.”

“The Gulf War did not take place.”

“Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price.”

“We live in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning.”

“Everything is destined to reappear as simulation. Landscapes as photography, women as the sexual scenario, thoughts as writing, terrorism as fashion and the media, events as television.”

“It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges persist here and there in the deserts which are no longer those of the Empire, but ours. The desert of the real itself.”

“The secret of theory is that truth does not exist.”

“Power is only too happy to make football bear a diabolical responsibility for stupefying the masses.”
