Roland Barthes

Myth is neither a lie nor a confession: it is an inflexion.

The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition... always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.

What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.

To set up as a standard of public morality a notion which can neither be defined nor conceived is to open the door to every kind of tyranny.

I don't eat cereal actually... Frosted Flakes... that's as close as I can get.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.
