I believe strongly that philosophy has nothing to do with specialists.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities
Gilles Deleuze
Image
As for being responsible or irresponsible, we don't recognize those notions, they're for policemen and courtroom psychiatrists.
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
Image
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
Image

Gilles Deleuze

Underneath all reason lies delirium and drift.
Gilles Deleuze

What is important is no longer either a signature or a number, but a code: the code is a password.
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
Photography, if there is photography, is already snapped, already shot, in the very interior of things and for all points of space.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
The philosopher creates, he doesn't reflect.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
The plane of consistency is the abolition of all metaphor all that consists is Real.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
A leftist government doesn't exist because being on the left has nothing to do with governments.
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
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
Things never pass where you think, nor along the paths you think
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Bring something incomprehensible into the world!
Gilles Deleuze
Image
One of the principal motifs of Nietzsche's work is that Kant had not carried out a true critique because he was not able to pose the problem of critique in terms of values.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
You never walk alone. Even the devil is the lord of flies.
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
