Michel Foucault
The images of madness are only dream and error, and if the sufferer who is blinded by them appeals to them, it is only to disappear with them in the annihilation to which they are fated.
Foucault quotes
A proper encounter with Foucault's work permanently changes one's understanding of how people are governed in modern society.
