Days gone by Quote by Jean Baudrillard

“In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity.” quote by Jean Baudrillard — Download Open image
