“In Choquequirao habe ich nicht nur die Überreste einer antiken Zivilisation gefunden, sondern ein Tor zu den grenzenlosen Reichen der menschlichen Erfahrung. Es flüsterte von flüchtigen Momenten und ewigen Wahrheiten und erinnerte mich daran, dass wir nur vorübergehende Hüter dieser Welt sind und unsere Geschichten in das Gewebe der Zeit eingravieren.”

“Ich stehe auf und erblicke erneut die atemberaubende Aussicht, die sich vor mir erstreckt - ein wellenförmiges Muster aus grünen Tälern und fernen Gipfeln. Hier stehe ich an der Schwelle zur Welt, mein Herz verwoben mit dem Puls der Natur, mein Geist bereit, über die Grenzen meiner sterblichen Form hinauszufliegen.”

“Whence the possibility of an ideological analysis of Disneyland (L. Marin did it very well in Utopiques, jeux d'espace [Utopias, play of space]): digest of the American way of life, panegyric of American values, idealized transposition of a contradictory reality. Certainly. But this masks something else and this "ideological" blanket functions as a cover for a simulation of the third order: Disneyland exists in order to hide that it is the "real" country, all of "real" America that is Disneyland (a bit like prisons are there to hide that it is the social in its entirety, in its banal omnipresence, that is carceral). Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real, whereas all of Los Angeles and the America that surrounds it are no longer real, but belong to the hyperreal order and to the order of simulation. It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology) but of concealing the fact that the real is no longer real, and thus of saving the reality principle.”
