Addiction is characteristic of modernity. Intoxication served to buffer the shock of the modern. Beginning in the nineteenth century, a narcotic (via a tricking-of-the-senses as to what reality is by new cinema technologies) was made out of reality itself.

Addiction is having every habit lying there in one's body even after quitting - having them lying dormant like flowers in the desert, ready to burst into full and luxuriant bloom if given the right conditions.

Addiction is an attachment to the phallus as a means to obtain satisfaction by somehow avoiding the law or the passage through the social bond.

Addiction's opposite is not sobriety; it is human connection.

An Advertisement is the way of attracting people in large ratio.

The Advertisement is the pushing of the principle of noise all the way to the plateau of persuasion; which is quite akin to brainwashing.

The Advertisement is supposed to do one thing: create an anxiety relievable by purchase.

The Advertisement is not art. An ad that pretends to be is - at absolute best - like somebody who smiles warmly at you only because he wants something from you.

Bureaucracy is the only remaining contact with the dimension of the divine; its impenetrable omnipotence and very purposelessness harbors divine enjoyment.

Bureaucracy is, as the rule of no one, the modem form of despotism.

Bureaucracy is out of control — the primary function of the government is to "spew out paper."

Bureaucracy is the art of making the possible impossible.
