—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
“The time will come when the evil forms we have known can no more be organized. Mans culture can spare nothing, wants all material. He is to convert all impediments into instruments, all enemies into power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
