More quotes by 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
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
Things never pass where you think, nor along the paths you think
Gilles Deleuze
A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
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
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
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
A tyrant institutionalises stupidity, but he is the first servant of his own system and the first to be installed within it.
Gilles Deleuze
As for being responsible or irresponsible, we don't recognize those notions, they're for policemen and courtroom psychiatrists.
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
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
Bring something incomprehensible into the world!
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
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
You never walk alone. Even the devil is the lord of flies.
Gilles Deleuze
The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities
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
Evaluations, in essence, are... ways of being, modes of existence of those who judge and evaluate.
Gilles Deleuze
Underneath all reason lies delirium and drift.
Gilles Deleuze
