More Quotes from Jean Baudrillard:
The obese is in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.Jean Baudrillard
Genius is childhood recaptured.
Jean Baudrillard
Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality. This is quite opposite to our own natural tendency which is to anticipate reality by imagining it, or to flee from it by idealizing it. That is why we shall never inhabit true fiction we are condemned to the imaginary and nostalgia for the future.
Jean Baudrillard

Jean Baudrillard
