More quotes by 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
The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.
Gilles Deleuze
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
What is important is no longer either a signature or a number, but a code: the code is a password.
Gilles Deleuze
Photography, if there is photography, is already snapped, already shot, in the very interior of things and for all points of space.
Gilles Deleuze
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
There’s no democratic state that’s not compromised to the very core by its part in generating human misery.

Gilles Deleuze
A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
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
The plane of consistency is the abolition of all metaphor all that consists is Real.
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
Is it not first through the voice that one becomes animal?
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
The percept is the landscape before man, in the absence of man.
Gilles Deleuze
Underneath all reason lies delirium and drift.
Gilles Deleuze
According to Beckett's or Kafka's law, there is immobility beyond movement: beyond standing up, there is sitting down, and beyond sitting down, lying down, beyond which one finally dissipates.
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
The shame of being a man - is there any better reason to write?
