Text Quotes
The strategic adversary is fascism. The fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Prison continues, on those who are entrusted to it, a work begun elsewhere, which the whole of society pursues on each individual through innumerable mechanisms of discipline (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on it's institutions (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same. More than one person, doubtless like me, writes in order to have no face (Michel Foucault Quotes)
If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost (Michel Foucault Quotes)
People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don’t know is what what they do does (Michel Foucault Quotes)
We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them (Michel Foucault Quotes)
There is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Resistances do not derive from a few heterogeneous principles; but neither are they a lure or a promise that is of necessity betrayed. They are the odd term in relations of power; they are inscribed in the latter as an irreducible opposite (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Nature, keeping only useless secrets, had placed within reach and in sight of human beings the things it was necessary for them to know (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Do not think that one has to be sad in order to be militant, even though the thing one is fighting is abominable (Michel Foucault Quotes)
I’m not making a problem out of a personal question; I make of a personal question an absence of a problem (Michel Foucault Quotes)
The intellectual was rejected and persecuted at the precise moment when the facts became incontrovertible, when it was forbidden to say that the emperor had no clothes (Michel Foucault Quotes)
I don’t write a book so that it will be the final word; I write a book so that other books are possible, not necessarily written by me (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Maybe the target nowadays is not to discover what we are but to refuse what we are (Michel Foucault Quotes)
What is peculiar to modern societies is not that they consigned sex to a shadow existence, but that they dedicated themselves to speaking of it ad infinitum, while exploiting it as the secret (Michel Foucault Quotes)
The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body (Michel Foucault Quotes)
It is the certainty of being punished and not the horrifying spectacle of public punishment that must discourage crime (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Psychoanalysis can unravel some of the forms of madness; it remains a stranger to the sovereign enterprise of unreason. It can neither limit nor transcribe, nor most certainly explain, what is essential in this enterprise (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Homosexuality appeared as one of the forms of sexuality when it was transposed from the practice of sodomy into a kind of interior androgyny, a hermaphroditism of the soul. The sodomite had been a temporary aberration; the homosexual was now a species (Michel Foucault Quotes)
You know the difference between a real science and a pseudoscience? A real science recognizes and accepts its own history without feeling attacked. When you tell a psychiatrist his mental institution came from a lazar house, he becomes infuriated (Michel Foucault Quotes)
From the idea that the self is not given to us, I think there is only one practical consequence: we have to create ourselves as a work of art (Michel Foucault Quotes)
There is not one but many silences, and they are an integral part of the strategies that underlie and permeate discourses (Michel Foucault Quotes)
What desire can be contrary to nature since it was given to man by nature itself? (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Politics and the economy are not things that exist, or illusions, or ideologies. They are things that do not exist and yet which are inscribed in reality and fall under a regime of truth dividing the true and the false (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Penal law was not created by the common people, nor by the peasantry, nor by the proletariat, but entirely by the bourgeoisie as an important tactical weapon in this system of divisions which they wished to introduce (Michel Foucault Quotes)
In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure and the police take the place of pirates (Michel Foucault Quotes)
A critique is not a matter of saying that things are not right as they are. It is a matter of pointing out on what kinds of assumptions, what kinds of familiar, unchallenged, unconsidered modes of thought the practices that we accept rest (Michel Foucault Quotes)
Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. At least spare us their morality when we write (Michel Foucault Quotes)
