Gilles Deleuze
Image
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
Image
You never walk alone. Even the devil is the lord of flies.
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 self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Evaluations, in essence, are... ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.
