More quotes by Gilles Deleuze
It's not easy to see things from the middle, rather than looking down on them from above or up at them from below, or from left to right or right to left: try it, you'll see that everything changes.
Gilles Deleuze
Something in the world forces us to think. This something is an object not of recognition but of a fundamental encounter.
Gilles Deleuze
There’s no democratic state that’s not compromised to the very core by its part in generating human misery.
Gilles Deleuze
To affirm is not to bear, carry, or harness oneself to that which exists, but on the contrary to unburden, unharness, and set free that which lives.
Gilles Deleuze
Underneath all reason lies delirium and drift.
Gilles Deleuze
The instinct of revenge is the force which constitutes the essence of what we call psychology, history, metaphysics and morality. The spirit of revenge is the genealogical element of our thought, the transcendental principle of our way of thinking.
Gilles Deleuze
The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities
Gilles Deleuze
Evaluations, in essence, are... ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.
Gilles Deleuze
The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.
Gilles Deleuze
In order for music to free itself, it will have to pass over to the other side - there where territories tremble, where the structures collapse, where the ethoses get mixed up, where a powerful song of the earth is unleashed, the great ritornelles that transmutes all the airs it carries away and makes return.
Gilles Deleuze
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
What interests us in operations of striation and smoothing are precisely the passages or combinations: how the forces at work within space continually striate it, and how in the course of its striation it develops other forces and emits new smooth spaces.
Gilles Deleuze
Things never pass where you think, nor along the paths you think
Gilles Deleuze
A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
Gilles Deleuze
One of the principal motifs of Nietzsche's work is that Kant had not carried out a true critique because he was not able to pose the problem of critique in terms of values.
Gilles Deleuze
Forming grammatically correct sentences is for the normal individual the prerequisite for any submission to social laws. No one is supposed to be ignorant of grammaticality those who are belong in special institutions. The unity of language is fundamentally political.
Gilles Deleuze
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
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
You never walk alone. Even the devil is the lord of flies.
Gilles Deleuze
I believe strongly that philosophy has nothing to do with specialists.
Gilles Deleuze
