“Kitsch ... is one of the major categories of the modern object. Knick-knacks, rustic odds-and-ends, souvenirs, lampshades, and African masks: the kitsch-object is collectively this whole plethora of “trashy,” sham or faked objects, this whole museum of junk which proliferates everywhere.... Kitsch is the equivalent to the “cliché” in discourse.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”

“Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.”
