"The blindness and dumbness of the data to which positivism reduces the world pass over into language itself"
"Real life is becoming indistinguishable from the movies. The sound film, far surpassing the theatre of illusion, leaves no room for imagination or reflection on the part of the audience, who is unable to respond within the structure of the film, yet deviate from its precise detail without losing the thread of the story; hence the film forces its victims to equate it directly with reality."

"[Simulation] is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal."
"The signs of the real [are substituted] for the real."
"simulation threatens the difference between the "true" and the "fake," the "real" and the "imaginary."
"Illusion is no longer possible, because the real is no longer possible."
The real no longer coincides with simulation models. They are no longer co-existent.
