I Believe That Political Power Exercises Itself Through The Mediation Of A Certain Number Of Institutions Which Look As If They Have Nothing In Common With The Political Power, And As If They Are Independent Of It, While They Are Not.

In Actual Fact. The Manifold Sexualities - Those Which Appear With The Different Ages (sexualities Of The Infant Or The Child), Those Which Become Fixated On Particular Tastes Or Practices (the Sexuality Of The Invert, The Gerontophile, The Fetishist), Those Which, In A Diffuse Manner, Invest Relationships (the Sexuality Of Doctor And Patient, Teacher And Student, Psychiatrist And Mental Patient), Those Which Haunt Spaces (the Sexuality Of The Home, The School, The Prison)- All Form The Correlate Of Exact Procedures Of Power.

My Point Is Not That Everything Is Bad, But That Everything Is Dangerous, Which Is Not Exactly The Same As Bad.

One Cannot Attend To Oneself, Take Care Of Oneself, Without A Relationship To Another Person.

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.
