“Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“He shows his splendour
in a little room;
he says to us,
be glad
and laugh,
be gay.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
