Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or operations:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”

All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible.

—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
