Gilles Deleuze

Gilles Deleuze

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
Writing has nothing to do with meaning. It has to do with landsurveying and cartography, including the mapping of countries yet to come.
Gilles Deleuze
