More quotes by Gilles Deleuze

Image
Evaluations, in essence, are... ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
I believe strongly that philosophy has nothing to do with specialists.
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
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
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
Image
The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities
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
Bring something incomprehensible into the world!
Gilles Deleuze
Image
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
Image
A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
What is important is no longer either a signature or a number, but a code: the code is a password.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
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
There’s no democratic state that’s not compromised to the very core by its part in generating human misery.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
It is always from the depths of its impotence that each power center draws its power, hence their extreme maliciousness, and vanity
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Things never pass where you think, nor along the paths you think
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Something in the world forces us to think. This something is an object not of recognition but of a fundamental encounter.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
The plane of consistency is the abolition of all metaphor all that consists is Real.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
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
Image
A tyrant institutionalises stupidity, but he is the first servant of his own system and the first to be installed within it.
Gilles Deleuze
