Image
Images exist things themselves are images... Images constantly act on and react to one another, produce and consume. There is no difference between images, things and movement.
Gilles Deleuze

Write, form a rhizome, increase your territory by deterritorialization, extend the line of flight to the point where it becomes an abstract machine covering the entire plane of consistency.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Philosophy is not in a state of external reflection on other domains, but in a state of active and internal alliance with them, and it is neither more abstract nor more difficult.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Either it is the fold of the infinite, or the constant folds [replis] of finitude which curve the outside and constitute the inside.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
The aim of critique is not the ends of man or of reason but in the end the Overman, the overcome, overtaken man. The point of critique is not justification but a different way of feeling: another sensibility
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Philosophy, art, and science are not the mental objects of an objectified brain but the three aspects under which the brain becomes subject.
Gilles Deleuze
