Details

“We do not die because we must, we die because it is a habit, to which one day, not so long ago, our thoughts became bound” – Raoul Vaneigem.
“To the Gods, death is only ever a prejudice” – F.W. Nietzsche.
“Like so many others, the mad, children and the old, have only become ‘categories’ under the sign of the successive segregations that have marked the development of culture. The poor, the under-developed, those with sub-normal IQs, perverts, transsexuals, intellectuals and women all form the basis of an increasingly racist definition of the ‘normal human’. It is not normal to be dead.” — Symbolic Exchange and Death — Jean Baudrillard.
