More quotes by Gilles Deleuze
I believe strongly that philosophy has nothing to do with specialists.
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 is important is no longer either a signature or a number, but a code: the code is a password.
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 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
As for being responsible or irresponsible, we don't recognize those notions, they're for policemen and courtroom psychiatrists.
Gilles Deleuze
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
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
Something in the world forces us to think. This something is an object not of recognition but of a fundamental encounter.
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
A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
Gilles Deleuze
There’s no democratic state that’s not compromised to the very core by its part in generating human misery.
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
Bring something incomprehensible into the world!
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
Is it not first through the voice that one becomes animal?
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
You never walk alone. Even the devil is the lord of flies.
Gilles Deleuze
The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.
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
