Quote by Jean Baudrillard

“The old form of voluntary servitude was that of free men using that freedom paradoxically to turn themselves into serfs. The new voluntary servitude is that of men obeying the demand that they be free.”

“I have to let go of all comparison, all rivalry and competition, and surrender to the Father’s love. This requires a leap of faith because I have little experience of non-comparing love. I can only remain in the resentful complaint that results from my comparisons. In the light of God I can finally see my neighbor as my brother, as the one who belongs as much to God as I do. But outside of God’s house, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, lovers and friends become rivals and even enemies; each perpetually plagued by jealousies, suspicions, and resentments.”

“Las dos buenas hermanas La Lujuria y la Muerte son dos amables muchachas, pródigas en besos y ricas en salud, cuyo vientre siempre virgen y cubierto de harapos pese al cultivo eterno, jamás fructificó. Al poeta siniestro, enemigo de las familias, favorito del infierno, cortesano de rentas escasas, tumbas y burdeles muestran bajo sus enramadas un lecho que nunca frecuentó el remordimiento. Y la caja de muerto y la alcoba fecundas en blasfemias por turno nos ofrecen, como dos buenas hermanas, terribles placeres y espantosas dulzuras. Lujuria de brazos inmundos, ¿cuándo quieres enterrarme? Y tú, Muerte, su rival en atractivos, ¿cuándo vendrás a injertar en sus mirtos infectos tus oscuros cipreses?”
