foucault the quotable!

sticky noteworthy:
(from discipline and punish)


p.11: "...from being an art of unbearable sensations, punishment has become an economy of suspended rights."

p.25-6: "..the body becomes a useful force only if it is...both productive and subjected."

p.103: "A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas; it is at this stable point of reason that he secures the end of the chain."

p.106: "Law must appear to be a necessity of things, and power must act while concealing itself beneath the gentle force of nature."
