Jean Baudrillard
“In the face of the threats of a total weightlessness, an unbearable lightness of being, a universal promiscuity and a linearity of processes liable to plunge us into the void, the sudden whirlpools that we dub catastrophes are really the thing that saves us from catastrophe. Anomalies and aberrations of this kind re-create zones of gravity and density that counter dispersion. It may be hazarded that this is how our societies secrete their own peculiar version of an accursed share, much after the fashion of those tribal peoples who used to dispose of their surplus population by means of an oceanic suicide: the homeopathic suicide of a few serving to maintain the homeostatic balance of the group.
So the actual catastrophe may turn out to be a carefully modulated strategy of our species - or, more precisely, our viruses, our extreme phenomena, which are most definitively real, albeit localized, may be what allow us to preserve the energy of that virtual catastrophe which is the motor of all our processes, whether economic or political, artistic or historical.”
Jean Baudrillard, The Transparency of Evil: Essays in Extreme Phenomena

Milan Kundera
“Düşüncenin yaklaşıklığı ile gerçeğin kesinliği arasında düşlenemez olanın yarattığı küçük bir boşluk vardı ve onun bir türlü peşini bırakmayan da bu boşluktu.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
