Michel Foucault
“Visibility is a trap.”
“Power is everywhere; not because it embraces everything, but because it comes from everywhere.”
“I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.”
“My point is not that everything is bad, but that everything is dangerous.”
“Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?”
“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.”
“Maybe the target nowadays is not to discover what we are but to refuse what we are.”
“We are subjected to the production of truth through power and we cannot exercise power except through the production of truth.”
“I don't write a book so that it will be the final word; I write a book so that other books are possible.”
“Knowledge is not made for understanding; it is made for cutting.”
“Where there is power, there is resistance.”
